Answer:
As someone else just pointed out, about 7 hours is the norm for most people. It does also depend on what you've been doing that day as well as to how much rest you should get and how much sleep you'd normally have.There are times when I've slept just a couple of hours and felt better than when I've been asleep for 8 or more hours, so it will more than likely vary from person to person.Why not try out different time-tables and see which works best for you? Perhaps just altering when you go to bed or get up could make a big difference in the level of rest you actually get.

The general rule of thumb is no less than 6hrs and no more than 8hrs a night. Works well for me.

It varies depending on your personal needs

8 hours is a working day-the doctors says you should sleep 7 or 6 hours is best buty sometimes sleeping more can bring on headaches and backaches.

Try yourself! See how much you need %26 don't ask the others. Sleep 2-4 days as much as you can and see how you feel. Everyday feeling better or tired? Then 4 another days in row put your alarm to wake you up in 8 hours and see again how you feel.
Usually they say 5-8 hours is fine. But some people sleep the afternoon too. You can sleep 6 hours the night and then 2 the morning it's the same. For example i'm a student too and i know i don't have time at all and the most of times i'm sleeping late the night. But to be truth i'm a big sleeper myself. I could leave myself sleeping 12 hours+ altough i feel tired then. I can't get up, i can't concentrate etc... But when i sleep less (6-7 hours) i wake up really fast *next day* and i'm full of energy and i can't explain that(!)!!
So it depends on the situation, the person, the DNA sometimes... It's better to try it and see.

everyone varies with how much they need. 8 to 9 hours is just a guide. If you still feel tired you may need 10 hours or you may be able to manage on 6 or 7
