Seven hours sleep a night is Perfect

Why I think 7 hours asleep at night is the perfect number.
God made the world in six days and he rested on the seventh. Every seven years God calls for the rest to planet Earth, people are not aloud to plow, plant, reap or anything else to the planet every seven years. For seven day’s women “rest” every month when her body cleanses itself. Which God says no intercourse during this rest, as well. And of course we as humans are supposed to rest on Sabbath, which is a commandment, by the way. Thou shalt honor the Sabbath and keep it Holy.
So why didn’t God specify the proper hours in a night to rest but made the seventh day so Holy? One option is it doesn't matter how many hours we sleep a night exactly, or another option could be maybe he wanted us to figure it out, or its not that important. I think it makes perfect sense that seven hours would be the perfect max amount of sleep in general, for an average adult. Maybe it’s a secret wisdom, maturity thing that only can make sense to the most wisest individuals out there. Ha! No, but all jokes aside, its just a fun theory I have thought of since it does seem like over sleeping can lead to extra sleepiness and under sleep can lead to many problems, and constant sleep at a constant hour seems to make it well constantly a perfect equation.
But if seven if the perfect number of hours God probably didn't mention it because babies sleep very much, in fact almost all the time and the elderly need more sleep and kids need naps and heck so do adults sometime. Then if we do sleep for five or six hours for like a week straight then we will eventually need to catch up on the sleep we lacked and then end up spending a Saturday or Sunday sleeping for twelve hours to make up for the week of deprecation, and I think God just left all that out due to overwhelming.
Also he would have to say that constant oversleeping is a sign of underlining issues, like depression, known or unknown to the person, and other issue we might not be aware of in our sciences yet, same with people who try to sleep only four to five hours a night; we do not know all the problems it could cause. But some is anger issue, lack of proper reasoning/ decision making.
So I would like to say seven hours just seems to fit with the rest of the sevens in the bible. And the Sabbath rest is so important for the same reason as above and for the Earth, we need to rest. We are not robots, I mean I think robots need to rest, actually or they can break down. All things need to rest if we just worked every day without rest for a year straight I'm sure we would have a mental breakdown and physical issue because of it. I know this for a fact actually. As i have not had to much rest like God wants and am constantly working and let me tell you, it has taken a toll on every part of my being. Even to my life force itself I believe if we don’t rest like God wants in all way’s, we build up a kind of cancer in our being, and lead to premature death along with many other issue.
So please people God does not tell you anything especially the ten Commandments for light study. He means the most serious of all seriousness. And we should treat it as such. And rest means rest, mind, body and soul, if knitting is rest then knit, if playing with your kids is rest then play, if sitting and doing absolutely nothing including cooking is what you need do that. But over all you should be not stressing and recharging with complete worry, or cares reduced to nothing.
