Brief Answer:
Getting 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep is normal at your age

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
A normal adult at your age should get 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep every night.

There are people who are also adjusted to getting slightly less or more sleep and that can also be considered normal if they have been doing it for a long time.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
