How much VS How many
Hello!
Could you please help me with he following exercise?
____________ hours' sleep do you have every night?
a. How many
b. How much
The correct answer is A. How many. But what's wrong with the option B. How much? Because it says ''hours' sleep'' which I think is an uncountable noun.
