Is there a difference between me sleeping 7.5 hours and 8 hours if I go to bed around 11:45 PM and wake up at 7:15 AM without an alarm? I've been waking up consistently around 7:15 AM for the past 7 days, and I feel awake. I've read Matthew Walker's book, and he suggests always getting 8 hours of sleep. I'm concerned about whether I really need that much sleep or if 7.5 hours is sufficient, especially since I also follow the QQRT rules and do 10 minutes of meditation and 10 minutes of NSDR every day.
How many hours of sleep should a person get?
What should I do if I have implemented nearly all the sleep recommendations from Dr. Huberman in the episodes Dr. Matt Walker: The Science of Dreams, Nightmares & Lucid Dreaming | Huberman Lab Guest Series and Sleep Strategies for Adults, such as getting sunlight, dimming lights, avoiding screens, eating 3 hours before sleep, keeping naps short, stopping caffeine intake after noon, exercising consistently around noon, and staying hydrated, but still wake up after 4 or 5 hours and can't fall back asleep, even with yoga nidra or NSDR? I went to the doctor, and they prescribed me trazodone, but I still don't get more than 6 hours of sleep.
