RESEARCHERS say the best length for a nightly sleep is around seven hours.
Researchers from the University of Warwick and the Federico II University in Naples studied the nightly habits of thousands of people and found poor sleepers are 12 per cent more likely to die prematurely than those who get six to eight hours.
Their findings provide the most convincing evidence yet of a link between too little sleep and an increased risk of early death. Many people sleep five hours or less a night.
Long sleepers could also be in trouble.
While over-sleeping does not in itself increase the risk of death, it can be a significant marker of an underlying serious illness.
The findings published in journal Sleep today coincide with the release of a separate American study that found older people tend to sleep better - the opposite of what was previously thought.
Comments:
It is definitely better to sleep more than six hours a day. One of the underlying reasons is that our body needs rest after a long day of "non-stop working". Enough sleeping is very essential particularly for children and teenagers because their bodies need a lot of time for rest and thus encourage a more healthier growth. Good sleepers are also found to be more efficient and productive in doing things because they have the energy to concentrate in their studies. Besides, early nightly sleeping also can contribute to our health, especially that the pimples on face can reduce greatly^^ So, all my friends let's start early nightly sleep now.
