(WKBW/Cleveland Clinic) A new study finds that getting the wrong amount of sleep can lower your quality of life.

The report shows that having less than 6 hours or more than 9 hours of sleep a night can increase your chance for depression.

How do you figure out how much sleep you need?

Doctors say it's the amount that allows you to feel rested, mentally sharp with no need to take naps.
