Sleep quality vs duration and how much we need
Sleep is vital yet mysterious and personal. Experts from Stanford and Johns Hopkins emphasize that seven to nine hours suits most adults, with health risks rising outside this range. Focus on sleep quality and waking refreshed, not only hours, as needs shift with age from newborns who require 14 to 17 hours.

Sleep basics and gender differences impact nightly rest
Experts explain sleep cycles of about 90 minutes with deep sleep early at night and REM dream sleep later. Women on average sleep slightly more than men, teens show insomnia more, and puberty shifts sleep needs. Seek help if chronic sleep loss raises mood, heart, or immune risks. If persistent despite adequate hours, consult a sleep specialist.
