My experience is no matter how many hours!. !. !. get a bedtime routine!. Try to go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time in the morning!. Even on weekends!. The ideal amount of sleep is 8 hours per night!. However remember that if you don't get 8 hours!. !. !. lets say tonight you only get 6 hours!. !. !. then you have put yourself in a 2 hour deficit!. So even if you get 8 hours tomorrow night you are still 2 hours behind on your sleepWww@Answer-Health@Com
