HOW MUCH SLEEP DOES A HUMAN NEED ? (RESEARCH ARTICLE)
THERE IS NO SET AMOUNT OF TIME THAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO SLEEP, SINCE IT
VARIES FROM PERSON TO PERSON. RESULTS FROM THE SLEEP PROFILER INDICATE
THAT PEOPLE LIKE TO SLEEP ANYWHERE BETWEEN 5 AND 11 HOURS, WITH THE
AVERAGE BEING 7.75 HOURS. JIM HORNE FROM LOUGHBOROUGH UNIVERSITY'S SLEEP
RESEARCH CENTRE HAS A SIMPLE ANSWER THOUGH: "THE AMOUNT OF SLEEP WE
REQUIRE IS WHAT WE NEED NOT TO BE SLEEPY IN THE DAYTIME. THE CURRENT
WORLD RECORD FOR THE LONGEST PERIOD WITHOUT SLEEP IS 11 DAYS, SET BY
RANDY GARDNER IN 1965. FOUR DAYS INTO THE RESEARCH, HE BEGAN
HALLUCINATING. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY A DELUSION WHERE HE THOUGHT HE WAS A
FAMOUS FOOTBALLER. SURPRISINGLY, RANDY WAS ACTUALLY FUNCTIONING QUITE
WELL AT THE END OF HIS RESEARCH AND HE COULD STILL BEAT THE SCIENTIST AT
PINBALL
