On: Why Seven Hours of Sleep Might Be Better Than Eigh...

Actually the correct answer to "how many hours should I sleep?" is: it depends.

I spend several hours a week breaking down my body by lifting extremely heavy weights at the gym each week. I don't feel good with 7 hours of sleep. My body needs to repair itself.

It's definitely not a fixed rule. I slept 7 hours last night and I feel miserable today, dull and tired. If I get 8-10 hours, I feel great.

Yeah, same here. I sleep as much as 10 hours a day -- basically until I wake up naturally without the alarm clock.
