2-4 hours!

Woah! Are you a giraffe? You must be, because giraffes are an animal that barely needs any sleep at all! This is pretty wild, because giraffes (like you) are huge animals and need a lot of energy to keep going! Scientists believe their trick is to have lots of power naps through the day. The idea is that this protects them from predators, because it takes a long time for a giraffe to get out of bed! Is this about right? Are you a power napper? Or are you really a giraffe?!

8 hours!

Boom! Okay! Your life is pretty sweet right? Not too much hassle, not too much stress, so according to the answers you’ve given, you need around 8 hours of sleep every night! This means you’ll wake up each day feeling refreshed and ready to go! But don’t forget, if you're having trouble dozing off, be sure to not look at your phone before bed! Alright then! What are you waiting for?! It’s bedtime right?

10 hours!

Alright! You’re one big-time snoozer! You’re the kind of person that lives such an active life that the normal 8 hours simply won’t cut it! You’re the sort that wakes up, runs 3 km, has breakfast and then does it again - so no wonder that you need a good sleep when it comes to the end of the day! But remember, browsing your phone in bed, with all those bright lights, is really bad for your sleep, and you’re going to need good rest with the life you lead!

12+ hours!

Woah! You need some rest! By the sounds of things you’re not feeling very well and it’s probably best that you took a little bit of time to recover! A good half a day in bed should do the trick! But don’t forget to stay hydrated too, all that time asleep and you’ll be gasping for a glass of water! Sweet dreams!
