about 11 hours == The average human requires about eight to ten hours of sleep a night. However, the amount of sleep is not as important as the quality of sleep. There are four stages of sleep, the most important is the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage. It is during REM that the mind reorders itself, the time when we dream. You could sleep for twenty hours a day, but if you never reached REM sleep, or if you were not able to maintain REM for a sufficient amount of time, you would still suffer from sleep deprivation.
