"The amount of sleep we need changes as we age, from needing a lot of sleep in infancy to needing much less in adulthood," she says. "Once we get to adulthood, the amount of sleep we need remains relatively stable with a slight decrease in older age."
"Someone who is getting eight hours of poor-quality sleep is going to feel like they are not getting enough sleep while another person might be able to get deep, good-quality sleep that is only six hours and feel like they got all the rest their body needs," says Masai.
"Spending too much time awake in bed weakens the association your body has between the bed and sleep," says Masai.
"A good indicator to determine if you are getting enough sleep is how you feel during the day."
