Different people need different amounts of sleep. And this can vary at different stages of the same person’s life.
I hate it when somebody comes out with these “rules” for basic everyday activities. Or every night, in this case.
I agree; it varies from person to person. During most of my 20s and 30s I probably averaged about 5 hours of sleep per night during the week and tried to pay off my sleep debts during the weekend. As I approached 40 it became increasingly harder to do so. I also started packing on the pounds. I read that the male’s peak testosterone production is contingent on adequate sleep, and I started aiming for 7-8 hours a night. the weight dropped off, and I am generally more productive and alert than when I was trying to burn the candle at both ends.
be pissed at trump, not me. 12-14 hours a day for a normal adult is way too much. we’re not talking exception jobs that may very well fatigue and exhaust a person to need 12-14 hours. he’s not talking about exceptions, he’s generalizing a broad category of people, the majority of people who aren’t super-high-strung power ceo’s.
i’m just citing what the average working person working a mon-fri job generally gets a night. stating what the typical sleep range for working people is isn’t making it a “rule”.
