Is 6 hrs of sleep enough?

In my experience with hormonal issues like PCOS, sleeping only 6 hours really spikes stress levels. Everyone's body reacts differently, but generally, 7-8 hours is safer to keep your hormones balanced. Try adjusting it slowly and see how your body responds.

Honestly, don't stress too much about the perfect number of hours! Some people genuinely feel fine with 6, while others need 8. Just listen to your body—if you feel fresh in the morning, you are good to go. Grab a nice warm cup of milk before bed if you want better sleep depth.

I have been sleeping 6 hours lately and I feel slightly dizzy in the afternoons. Has anyone else felt this kind of mild headache or heavy eyes? I hope it is just normal fatigue and nothing more serious. Let me know if you guys also feel off with 6 hours.

I agree that 6 hours is usually on the lower side for most adults. Try to take a short 15-minute power nap in the afternoon if your schedule allows, it really helps recharge.

I totally understand why you are asking this, health anxiety can make you overthink every little thing like sleep hours. I used to track my sleep obsessively and worry if I got less than 7 hours. Once I stopped stressing and focused on quality sleep, my body felt much better.
