Sundhedsstyrelsen (Danish Health Authority) recommends 7-9 hours of sleep daily for adults between 18 and 65 years old.

According to the authority, “sleep is essential for us to thrive and feel good. We know that three out of ten adults sleep less than seven hours a day.” Studies show that we sleep on average 7 hours and 12 minutes daily, which means a lot of people sleep less than 7 hours per day. 

• Young people aged 14-17 are recommended to sleep 8-10 hours a day.
