Always had a feeling this was true: Sleep the right amount, live longer, sleep the wrong amount, age faster!
“…scientists narrowed down a “sweet spot” of between 6.4 and 7.8 hours of sleep per night. Sleep durations that fall too much on either side of that, the study found, were associated with accelerated aging.” (For some it’s 4, for some 9 though)
Just thought I would share this, as it seems important to all of us who don’t love aging ❤️
tldr:
In a study published in the journal Nature, scientists narrowed down a “sweet spot” of between 6.4 and 7.8 hours of sleep per night. Sleep durations that fall too much on either side of that, the study found, were associated with accelerated aging.
“I would treat this as guidance,” Wen told WaPo. “The key point is consistent sleep time, around 6 to 8 hours per day. We know that’s going to do good for your overall health.”
My god ban this spammer
“We thought this young guy had been sleeping for the past 36 hours but it turns out he was dead”
Headline: “more than this many hours of sleep is linked to early death”
