you should get at least eight hours of sleep each day.you should ask your family and friends to support you on this "sleep journey"

It depends on the person...but the average is eight hours. You could try some relaxation music (you can find this almost anywhere). A good one will lead you in ways to relax, ie: breathing, etc. I hope this helps.

About 8 hours on average.

Try leaving your radio on. or earplugs.

Everyone pretty hit the # of hours you should get (8 hours for an adult)

I work third shift and also wake up easily by noises, a sound machine works wonders. It blocks out outside noise and you sleep soundly.

Depends on how old you are. Adults shoud have 5-7, 8 on a good day, and teenagers and kids should have 8 minimum, 7 on a bad day. Earplugs and eye covers should help. Now it wouldnt seem like they would do much, but thing is when your sleeping, the earplugs muffle the slight noises that may wake you up. They dont completely block them, but they block them enough for peacful sleep. The eye covers will dim any bright light that would disturb you. The eye cover may disturb enough, if you dont like things on your head, but if items around you wont bother you im positive this should work.

between 6 and 9 hours of sleep. 9 is optimal, but more than 9 can be unhealthy. For the noises, place something with continuous noise in your room, like a fan; it'll cover up other noises, but not wake you up because you get used to it.

some people say 9, but i personally think that's overkill. it all depends on how much stress you have in your life. only 2 hours are needed to restore us physically, so the rest depends on your brain. 6-7 is fine, but aim for 7-8. Also, since you're a light sleeper, try a sound machine, it's just a small machine that you set to sound like the ocean, or wind, or crickets, or whatever you want which can make it easier to sleep and block out other noises. also check for watches, clocks, cell phone noises...etc that could make noise in the middle of the night and wake you up. goodluck!
