ARMS 0 Posted April 16, 2007 A survey is suggesting that only a tiny minority of us are getting eight hours' sleep a night. But do we really need that much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theunicornhunter 2 Posted April 17, 2007 Sleep deprivation is rampant in the US - apparently else where as well. I have read studies in the past where there is a link between hours of sleep and longevity - too much or too little is unhealthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LCARS 24 0 Posted April 18, 2007 A good source of current information on what is known about need for sleep is the Division of Sleep of the Harvard School of Medicine. http://sleep.med.harvard.edu/ According to Charles A. Czeisler, MD, Ph.D, of that Division, for example, some of what was formerly believed was based on biased studies, in which students were paid to participate and told researchers what they wanted to hear. But more controlled studies have shed new light on this. Another point is that young people can stay up late and make up for it by sleeping in the next day, whereas older people have trouble sleeping in after an all-nighter.
