Dakota Johnson reveals sleep routine of up to 14 hours; after all, how much do we need to sleep?

oglobo15 September 2026 at 13:47

Dakota Johnson revealed that she dedicates long periods to rest and stated that she doesn't feel well when she sleeps less than 10 hours per night. On some days, according to the actress, the sleep time can reach 14 hours. The declaration draws attention for departing from the idea that few hours of rest would be sufficient to maintain a productive routine.

The revelation raises a central question: does sleeping more necessarily mean sleeping better? The answer, according to specialists, is not so simple. Although sleep plays an important role in physical and mental recovery, the necessary amount varies according to each person.

For endocrinologist Vagner Chiapetti, there is no direct relationship between spending more time in bed and obtaining more benefits for the body. According to him, sleep participates in fundamental body regulation processes, but the ideal quality and quantity are individual.

Why this matters

The article is of interest to the Brazilian reader who seeks to better understand their own sleep habits, especially those who believe they need to sleep little to be productive. The text offers a medical perspective that contradicts popular beliefs, showing that the ideal amount of rest is individual and that sleeping more doesn't always mean sleeping better.

Pampas grass: It is urgent to intervene where this invasive species is still poorly present, warn specialists

Pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana), an invasive plant native to Argentina and Chile, is present in 208 of Portugal's 278 municipalities and is considered one of the ten most widespread invasive species in Portugal, warn specialists. Although listed on the National Invasive Species List since 2019, the plant continues to advance rapidly, occupying everything from road verges to natural habitats such as dunes and estuaries. In full flowering season, each female plant produces millions of wind-dispersed seeds, making intervention urgent especially in inland areas where the invasive species is still poorly present. A researcher from the Coimbra School of Agriculture calls for coordinated national action, including the publication of an Action Plan that has been pending since 2023, and recommends that each citizen pull up plants by the roots, remove the plumes to prevent seed dispersal, and record observations on the iNaturalist app.
