ever in our lives we have presented disorders to bedtime, either, because we do too much or the other extreme, we can not reconcile.

The sleep period is very variable, as it depends on each one of the people. Some require no more than four hours of sleep per day, while others need more sleep than ten. The average adult needs 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night.
