How many hours a night should you sleep?

I often feel tired despite sleeping. I've heard different recommendations, but what's the general consensus? How many hours a night should an adult really be sleeping to feel rested?

Beta, 7 se 8 ghante ki neend zaroori hai. Hamare zamane mein jaldi sote the aur subah jaldi uthte the. Ye aajkal ki raat bhar jaagne ki aadat achhi nahin hai. Thoda garm doodh piyo raat mein aur phone door rakho sone se pehle.

This is such an important question, and something I've struggled with emotionally. Not getting enough sleep can affect everything. Aim for 7-9 hours, but don't beat yourself up if it's not perfect every night. The effort to prioritize it matters.

Bhai, for most adults, 7 to 9 hours is the sweet spot. Less than that, you'll feel it. More, and you might feel groggy. Listen to your body, but try to aim for that range consistently. Simple, no rocket science.

Honestly, 7-8 hours is what everyone says. For us, with work and family, it's tough to get that every single night. But even if you can't get it daily, try to catch up on weekends or take short power naps. Quality over quantity also matters, so a dark, quiet room helps.

I'm always confused about this! Is it really 8 hours for everyone? I usually get around 6-7, but then I feel so tired. Is there anything specific one can do to ensure deeper sleep, even if it's for fewer hours?
