Soundness of a person's sleep is a barometer of his happiness. The lightness of person's sleep is barometer of person's commitment to his goal. So, if one is able to sleep light and sound then the person is bound to succeed. Sleep is the best meditation practice. Sleep helps you in rejuvenating and connecting with yourself in a better manner. It flushes out all the unfired or misfired neurons from your brain. It also helps in reducing dissonance and remove all the bad memories from your mind.
People often wonder, what is the appropriate length of sleep? Should one sleep 4 hours or 6 hours or 8 hours or 10 hours? From psychological research 8 hours sleep is suggested for healthy mind body coordination. However from my personal experience, length of sleep is related to how inspired do you feel to wake up? And inspiration for waking up depends on what you plan to achieve after waking up. So for aspirants of competitive exams, I think duration of sleep is measure of how inspired and motivated you are to crack a particular exam.
In general, sleep consists of various brain wave cycle. One cycles generally spans 90 minute where 20 to 25 minutes are for a special kind of deep sleep. In the state of deep sleep, person's eyes move rapidly. Thus it is also called REM sleep. First three cycles are of 90 minutes. Forth cycle is generally 75 to 80 minutes. The fifth one is 70 minutes. So in total, this becomes 7 hours.
From my experience 5 hour 50 minutes are sufficient for reasonably motivated individual. But otherwise also 7 hours sleep is enough to satiate all your physical and mental needs.
Sleep is also the biggest source of entertainment. You can watch so many dreams happy, sad, horror and drama. It is any day better than watching that banal face of Bipasha Basu or Aishwarya Rai on TV or Cinema hall. And if you are lucky enough then Sunny Leone herself can offer her exclusive services to you in the dream.
However, sleeping itself is not sufficient. One should be able to appreciate his sleep for maintaining the sanity of mind and body. I suffer from restlessness syndrome therefore I have never been able to appreciate aesthetic beauty of sleep. For me it always remained a functional tool to keep myself active. May be because I am yet to find my destiny. Only a person who has found his destiny and passion in life can sleep happily in the long term.
