Time and again we are fascinated by scientific studies that deal with the issue of anti-aging. Now, to be shown that those who are chronic short sleepers have a much higher risk of death than those who sleep longer.
British and Italian scientists now warn that night, in which one gets less than six hours of sleep can lead to premature death. In a recent study found that people who sleep so little, a 12 per cent have higher probability of dying within a period of 25 years.The ideal sleeping time is six to eight hours, according to scientists. But even those who regularly sleep too long, do not make it right. Because the researchers also see a connection between more than nine continuous hours sleep and an early death. This is too much sleep as an indicator of poor health. Scientific studies the data were analyzed by a total of 1.5 million people from 16 studies. For details, you can find in the journal Sleep.
In the studies, the scientists turned their attention to the relationship between sleep and mortality. Consult for this study were drawn from America, Britain, East Asia and Europe. A premature death, according to analysis of all data is always executed with too little or too much sleep together. Above all, longer working hours and shift work are responsible for ensuring that people worldwide reduce their amount of sleep. This is the result Francesco Cappuccio, director of the Sleep, Health and Society Program at the University of Warwick. At the same time he said that further studies were needed to find out exactly why sleep is so important to health.
Jim Horne from the Loughborough Sleep Research Centre strongly believes that not only work longer for the unhealthy sleeping responsible. It also provides for the physical and mental health as the cause. After all, sleep is influenced by many diseases and conditions, including, for example, depression. Just because someone is sleeping longer, this meant far that he may live better and longer.
