Studies show that people who sleep between 6.5hr and 7.5 hr a night ,as they report live the longest.And people who sleep 8 hr or more,or less than 6.5 hr,they dont live quite as long. There is just as much risk associated with sleeping too long as with sleeping too short, the big surprise is that  long sleep seems to start at 8 hr,sleeping 8.5. might really be a little worse than sleeping5 hr.

Very short sleep and  very long sleep are associated with many illnesses - with depression, Obesity,so forth,but  the ideal amount of sleep for different health measures isnt' all in the same place. The fact is that we can prevent a lot of insomnia and distress by just telling people that short sleep is OK. we have been told that you ought  to sleep 8 hr., but there is  no much evidence & now days the common problem we see at most of the clinics for obtaining advice is people who spend too long in  bed, as they have trouble  falling asleep and wake up a lot during the night.

Oddly enough, a lot of the Sleep problem is lying in bed awake, worrying about it, studies show that an insomnia treatment that involves getting out of bed when your're not sleepy and restricting your time in bed actually helps people to sleep more, they get over their fear of the bed & they get over the worry and become confident when they go to bed . So spending less time in bed actually makes sleep better. it is in fact  a more powerful and effective long term treatment for insomnia than sleeping pills.

So friend's, how deep is your sleep ,have you ever recorded your sleep hour's if not, pls do then you can decide how long you can live, after all life is precious, and ample  sound sleep is a must for our Mind Body & Soul.

Dont sleep Lonnnnng , sleep short & BETTER.
