Sleep Deprivation and Testosterone Levels

Last Updated on March 24, 2013 by Jimson Lee

I’ve long advocated that 7.5 or 9 hours is the perfect number of hours to sleep, give or take a few minutes depending on your REM cycles.  Plus, this formula doesn’t account for the time it takes to fall asleep.

If you are living on 4.5 or 6 hours of sleep, see the chart below.

See the articles on REM sleep here:  REM Sleep 2011, REM Sleep 2009, and REM Sleep 2007.
