Health experts have known for a long time that sleep is key to good health--and happiness. But did you know that not getting enough sleep can also reduce your lifespan?
In a new study, British researchers say that getting less than six hours of sleep per night is associated with a higher risk of heart attack, stroke and heart failure. In fact, in the 1,000 people studied, those that got less than six hours of sleep a night were twice as likely to have a stroke or heart attack 70 percent more likely to have congestive heart failure as compared to people who slept more than six hours per night.
That's a big deal! And, because it's very easy to get less than six hours a night when leading a busy life (I'm guilty!), I think this is a reminder that we all need.
How many hours do you get a night?
