8hours
if i remember from my intro psych course its something like 6 hours of rem sleep which isnt the type of sleep you get the entire time you're asleep so you should aim for 8 hours
7-9 hours
sleeping less on average over time causes health problems
new studies are suggesting over sleeping also correlates to health problems
7-9 a night homie
Really just depends from person to person though the general consensus is about 8 hours. Some people can function on as little as an hour a day others need 10 to function. Hope this helps.
What sort of health problems?
I can second the health problems bit. First three years of uni i got such little sleep something like 4 hours a night, during exams id be lucky to get 4 hours over 3 days. This shit completely fucking destroyed me, I had some mental issues beforehand but having such little sleep made me completely suicidal, 3 attempts so far. Id end up missing so many classes cause id wake up and just lie in bed for hours thinking about wanting to kill myself.
Going to the gym helped and once i got hooked to lifting, finding out that more sleep = more gains made me get more sleep. Still get depressed sometimes and forcing myself to go to sleep even though i need to study means my grades arent any better but its alot better than that other shit. Never let anything get in the way of your sleep anons, there are very few things in life worth losing sleep over

what the fuck are you studying?
hard to completely determine from what i've read. overwhelmingly scientists agree getting less than 7 hours of sleep night after night contributes to mental and physical health problems across the board
new studies are suggesting sleeping more than 9 hours a night on average also correlates to mental and physical health problems but they disagree on whether more sleep causes these problems, or getting too much sleep is a symptom of an existing problem (like im depressed or my back pain is killing me therefore id rather sleep 11 hours a day)
