New Sleep Study Says 6-8 Hours A Night Is Best

Health Tips update for Friday, June 25:  A team of British and Italian researchers recently announced findings of their review of 16 sleep studies....
After extensive review of over 1.3 million study participants from Asia, Europe and the U.S., they found the magic number is still eight (six to eight to be exact). People who sleep less than six hours a night are up to 12% more likely to die prematurely than those who sleep for six to eight hours a night. Sleeping too much (more than nine hours a night), on the other hand, might be a sign of serious illness. The new findings, which reinforce prior recommendations, provide solid evidence of the direct link between adequate shut-eye and longevity.
If you are having trouble sleeping look for natural health solutions first.
