Information about insomnia and sleep problems

How many hours of sleep should I expect to get once I break the cycle of insomnia?

It’s important to recognize that not all of us need 8 hours of sleep a night. While most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep, there is no magic number of hours of sleep that we should all be getting. Some people do just fine with less than seven hours of sleep.

What is most important is how you feel during the day, not the number of hours that you sleep. If you remain awake and function well during the day without symptoms of irritability, fatigue, drowsiness, and impaired performance, you no longer suffer from insomnia.

Your goals and expectations about your sleep should focus on an overall improvement in the quality of your life. Let go of the numbers and notice how much more well-rested and energized you feel throughout the day.

There is no magic number of hours that you should sleep. Focus on how much better you feel once the quantity and quality of your sleep improves.
