How long do you sleep? 😴 Check out this great chart from !

Here is the sleep length timeline:

0 h - complete sleep deprivation can cause microsleeps (drowsing off) and memory lapses

1-2 h - loss of cognitive functions like concentration, increased confusion and fatigue

3-4 h - you become insulin resistant and have higher blood sugar. Fat cells become 30% more insulin sensitive and will grow more easily

< 5 h - associated with a 15% increased risk of dying

5-6 h - a higher proportion of energy being burned from muscle and less from fat

< 6 h - increased hunger and cravings

< 6 h - weaker immune system and increased risk of infection

< 6 h - increased BDNF that increases endorphins and neuroplasticity but also body soreness

6-7 h - the optimal minimal dose recovery time for cognitive functions and memory

7-8 h - stable blood sugar and insulin sensitivity

8-9 h - optimal amount for muscle growth and physical recovery

10 h - enhanced recovery from strenuous physical activity

11-12 h - higher fatigue, drowsiness, and depressive symptoms

13+ h - increased risk of disease and dying

The optimal amount of sleep is 7-9 hours for adults
