On the other hand, some people do well with just 5-6 hours while others feel sleepy even after 9-10 hours of sleep! Why? Because our genetics play major role in how much sleep we need (like they play role in what hair color we have). Sleep need varies from person to person in the range of 6-9 hours. Apart from this, sleep requirement can be affected by sleep disorders like hypersomnia (where person feel sleepy even after 10+ hours of sleep), depression, mental health, sleep debt (means you are cutting your sleep for a considerable time) &amp; medicines you take. Well, If it\u2019s a DNA issues, it\u2019s normal. Nothing can be done about this! But if it\u2019s a medical issue, seek help. Anyways, when it comes to sleep, it\u2019s best to listen to your body needs so that you don\u2019t end-up in accumulating sleep debt!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Source: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/why-do-some-people-need-more-sleep-than-others_us_5aafb7fce4b0337adf85b072\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HuffPost<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/healthysleep.med.harvard.edu\/healthy\/science\/variations\/individual-variation-genetics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harvard Healthy Sleep<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/vv7eqx\/why-do-different-people-need-different-amounts-of-sleep\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VICE Motherboard<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Photo Thanks: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/en\/woman-girl-bella-read-sleep-2197947\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pixabay<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a general rule of thumb, 7-8 hours of sleep is considered as healthy sleep, right?
