    Hi, Ihhai,
    8 hours a day is the norm. It can vary somewhat, but the brain needs time to "unwind", recoop, and rest.
    Jobs that require 10 or 12 hours a day "on the job", require more sleep time that normal 8 hours a day jobs.
    Eventually, not getting enough sleep will result in being sleepy, not being able to "give all you can", and have you feeling "run down" all the time.

    I read somewhere recently (cant remember where though), that the 8 hr rule of thumb norm is not necessarily accurate anymore, and rather, it is 9 hours a day of sleep that we need. Although, Id still take 8/day if I could get it.

    Oh really? That's interesting! I still maintain it's highly individual. I couldn't sleep 9 hours unless I was sick or something. I automatically wake up after 7 hours, and I can't sleep in no matter how hard I try!

    I agree, very individual. There are some that can function very well on 3 or 4 hours a night.

    All depends on the person.
    And probably the job too.

    I agree.

    It most likely depends on the individual as each person is indeed different.

    I heard that doctors recommend between 6-8 hours, but it is not enough for me. I feel charged with 9 hours, but I am also afraid that it can be harmful.
