There was a segment on 60 Minutes last night about the purpose and importance of sleep. They interviewed sleep researchers, discussed the effects of sleep deprivation, etc. One scientist said the adult human ideally needs 7 1/2 - 8 hours of sleep, but most of us get a lot less (big surprise there, LOL). They went on to say that sleep-deprived individuals tend to be at higher risk for heart disease and diabetes. I thought "great, another thing to lose sleep over!"
During the work week, I sleep about 7 hours a night- but I often feel I need more. How much do you sleep? Do you feel you sleep enough?
