In order to figure out exactly how much sleep you need, the NSF recommend you answer these questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Are you productive, healthy and happy on seven hours of sleep? Or does it take you nine hours of quality ZZZs to get you into high gear?<\/li>\n<li>Do you have health issues such as being overweight? Are you at risk for any disease?<\/li>\n<li>Are you experiencing\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sleepfoundation.org\/sleep-disorders-problems\">sleep problems\u00a0<\/a>?<\/li>\n<li>Do you depend on caffeine to get you through the day?<\/li>\n<li>Do you feel\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/drowsydriving.org\/\">sleepy when driving\u00a0<\/a>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The single most important question to consider, according to the NSF, is: do you make sleep a priority? It should be. You need to consider it at the top of your to-do list every day, and not just another task to complete after you have watched &#8220;Scandal&#8221;\u00a0or cleaned the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ll excuse me, I\u2019m going to do some very important work now.
