How many hours of sleep do you get every night? 10? 8? 6? Less? CDC.gov notes that the “American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society recommend that adults aged 18–60 years sleep at least 7 hours each night to promote optimal health and well-being.” That may sound like a lot of sleep time, but sleep is essential if you want to perform your best.
