Is not getting 8 hours of sleep really a big deal?!


Question:

Is not getting 8 hours of sleep really a big deal?

I am a nursing major, and the further i get into my studies, the harder it is for me to get a full nights sleep. There were times where i was physically sick from not getting enough sleep. Due to the way my life is right now, i see now other choice but to deal with my sleep deprivation. With so many jobs and careers today, more and more people are finding it harder to get a full " 8 hours" of sleep. How has lack of sleep affected you or people you know ? Do you really need a full 8 hours of sleep to function properly?


Answers:

I never get 8 hours sleep, and I can function. If I get less than maybe 5 or 5 1/2 I need to make it up somewhere, but usually I do just fine on six hours.
