Hi everyone!
Studies have shown that people who sleep less than 6 hours a day have a higher chance of dying prematurely. It is thought that the relation between little sleep and illness is due to a series of hormonal and metabolical mechanisms. However, too much sleep is bad for you as well.
In my opinion, I think that society is pushing our bedtime way too late into the night. We should have 6 to 8 hours of sleep every day to make sure that our health is in tip-top condition. We wouldn't want diabetes, obesity, hypertension or high cholesterol now, would we?
