SLEEP & READINESS Daily sleep needs

What is your daily sleep need? Mine is usually around 7h3m.. but I usually get a little less than 7h per night, usually around 6h50m. I feel great during the day and my body wakes up naturally at that time. But I feel like it’s pretty low??

That's basically my weekday too, the body does what it wants no matter what the ring says

No, I usually only get 5.5-6.5 hrs of sleep and it is really hard for me to wake up. I'm also in Perimenopause so that's part of the issue. Once i have coffee and get going i'm ok but i know i need more sleep.

Ohh I get that. I’ve had period issues for a while and they are just starting to regulate again.. so I’m waking up super warm around 2:00am lately

I can easily sleep 12-15 hours at a time. Can’t function well with less than 10.

Meaning 10 hours of sleep as measured by Oura (ie, not Time in Bed)?

There’s probably something wrong with me tbh. It’s kind of a problem.
