[" And although we may do our best to avoid trouble, sometimes trouble insists on finding us. When that happens......when the time for talk is over, warriors act. They flip the switch and act decisively - ruthlessly if necessary - to preserve and defend the things that they hold dear."
Michael D. Janiich Why being a warrior starts with accepting the limitations of peace.

I try to sleep 8 hours each night although I probably get more like 6-7 hours because I wake up a lot through the night. I think our bodies do a good job of telling us when we don't have enough sleep or we aren't eating healthy or getting enough nutrients and vitamins. I think exercising and eating healthy can also help one to get a good night sleep.

I think that the suitable sleeping time for man is from 7 to 8 hours. This time will recovery the energy that we used in this day so it is very necessary. Lack of sleep can lead to the tiredness in the next day. In fact, you can use some products supporting for a good sleep. I often drink lemongrass tea before bed time. It is very positive. This benefits of lemongrass is confirmed by many health articles. You can see more details at https://wikihomenutrition.com/lemong...alth-benefits/

Adults need 7-9 hour sleep, There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function optimally. Just because you're able to operate on seven hours of sleep doesn't mean you wouldn't feel a lot better and get more done if you spent an extra hour or two in bed.
While sleep requirements vary slightly from person to person, most healthy adults need between 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night to function at their best. Children and teens need even more (see Average Sleep Needs table above). And despite the notion that our sleep needs decrease with age, most older people still need at least 7 hours of sleep. Since older adults often have trouble sleeping this long at night, daytime naps can help fill in the gap.
The best way to figure out if you're meeting your sleep needs is to evaluate how you feel as you go about your day. If you're logging enough hours, you'll feel energetic and alert all day long, from the moment you wake up until your regular bedtime.
