Important News: Too Little Sleep Ups Risk Of Early Death
Dear Reader,
Sleep is showing itself increasingly important to our health. If you get less
than 6 hours of sleep a night, a new study that's a collaborative effort between
the University of Warwick and the Federico II University Medical School, finds
you're 12% more likely to die prematurely than those who get the recommended
6 to 8 hours a night.
What's more, the researchers found that sleeping too much
(more than 9 hours) doesn't impact the risk of death; but might still be a sign
of serious, even potentially fatal, illness. The study appears in the May 2010
issue of Sleep.
The findings offer solid evidence of the direct link between not enough sleep and increased risk of early death. The British and Italian teams looked at 16 studies that included more than 1.3 million subjects from the U.S., Europe and Asia who were followed for up to 25 years. During that time, there were more than 100,000 deaths among the subjects.
Researcher Francesco Cappuccio, leader of the Sleep, Health and Society Program at the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom, suggests that regularly sleeping from six to eight hours a night might be optimal for health. He believes that sleep duration should be thought of as a behavioral risk factor that can be modified through education and counseling, as well as affected by changes in the world around us.
What's worrisome is that the National Sleep Foundation reports that as many as 40% of Americans sleep less than 7 hours a night.
If you're like many people in our always-on world, you're not getting the sleep you need. Endless commutes, family responsibilities, worries over money or health, not to mention the fascination we have with our 24/7 access to everything makes getting the right amount of sleep harder than ever.
Not only is cutting sleep robbing your body of the rest it needs to recharge (and stay healthy), but too little sleep makes handling everyday stress that much harder. What's more, lack of sleep is known to leave you with impaired work performance, lackluster thinking skills and questionable judgment.
If you're cutting sleep don't plan on doing this over the long term. Catch up on your sleep as soon as you can. Your doctor will tell you that your body needs from 5 to 9 hours of sleep every 24 hours, which is why it's important to find a way to get the rest you need by establishing a healthy sleeping routine.
You'll want to go to bed and get up at the same time, even on the weekends, during vacations and on holidays.

It's also important to keep your sleeping space restful, quiet and a comfortable,
constant temperature. Staying away from super stimulating TV programs, discussions
and the like before bedtime is also essential.
Exercise, though not too close to bedtime, is important, as is avoiding alcohol,
caffeine and nicotine as well as large meals and medications that delay or disrupt
sleep.
Today there's an abundance of research that shows getting enough sleep gives
you the edge to help you perform at your best, be more creative and have stronger
long term memories.
This latest bit of work suggests that it might be optimal for your health (and
longevity) as well, so rest easy.
To your good health,
