how many hours should you sleep at night
it's a great question the answer for
most adults is somewhere between six and
eight hours a night but this is variable
everyone knows someone who gets five
hours at night and does perfectly fine
but most adults need between six and
eight hours a night to be functional and
that's the key is how functional are you
if you feel like you're sleep-deprived
you're tired you're not functioning well
then it's important to look at how
you're sleeping and what's most
important about sleep is maintaining a
routine something we call sleep hygiene
as best as you possibly can so you want
to try to avoid things that can disrupt
your sleep cycle walk into truck your
sleep cycle well lots of caffeine late
at night which is a stimulant eating
late at night can give you heartburn and
wake you up
certainly alcohol as we all know can
give you a bad night's sleep as well
there are other medications which
routinely interrupt with your sleep
cycles as well and so trying to maintain
consistent habits that's really really
important any time you start altering
your habits you alter your sleep cycle
and all the times you're not going to
feel well rested the next day if you
have any questions about your sleeping
habits or having difficulty with your
sleep habits by all means please make an
appointment with your primary care
physician or with myself or any of my
colleagues at Mount Sinai doctors
