What is an English words which describes that something is different for different people, or in other words, it's kind of exclusive to the person they belong to.
For example I want to say that there is nothing like "the-best-sleeping-duration". Sleep requirements vary with people. Different people have different sleep requirements.
Likewise, I want to say that there is nothing like the best method to study. Different methods are best-suited for different people. It's kind of subjective.

Hi Solace - Please note that "kinda" is not a recognised abbreviation in English. You might see it on informal websites, in representations of spoken dialog or in cartoons but definitely not in grammatical written English.

I would go with personal based on your example.
1 : of, relating to, or affecting a particular person
While subjective is a synonym for personal, it has a connotation that you can control it. I wouldn't say your requirement for sleep is something you can change as easily as your opinion on a matter. Antonyms for subjective include objective, unbiased, and unemotional. Antonyms for personal include common, public, and general.
