For most people 7-8 hours is optimal. But some do great with 6. Sleep on your back or side. If you are on your back put a pillow under your knees and for your head no pillow or a small pillow or an orthopedic pillow or a roll. If you are on your side put a pillow between your knees and for your head and neck you want a pillow that keeps them in the middle of your body.
A firm mattress is best. If you sleep on your side a bit softer. Big traumas and little traumas. Bad postures, sitting for too long without a break, walking on hard surfaces without supportive footwear, bad lifting technique, car accidents, slips and falls all contribute to bad spinal health. If you have to sit for long periods, change something every hour!
