Sleep Talk: Do We Really Need 8 Hours?

March 19, 2026

Hey everyone! So, I stumbled upon this video from Dr. Jen Gunter, and it really got me thinking about my own sleep habits (or lack thereof, let's be real). We always hear about needing eight hours, right? But is that really a one-size-fits-all kind of deal?

She breaks down some interesting stuff about how sleep actually works and why that 8-hour number might not be the whole story for everyone. It's pretty insightful and definitely made me feel a little less guilty about those nights I only get six. 😉

Worth a watch if you're curious about what your body actually needs versus what we're told. Let me know what you think!
