Power of Sleep

It was said that people who sleep longer hours than are necessary have a higher death rate from heart attacks than those who are normal sleepers. Medical research has shown that the death rate from strokes was considerably higher among those who slept nine or ten hours a night than for people who averaged seven hours a night. The coronary death rate  was also higher for those who were long sleepers. Among those who slept ten or more hours a night, the death rate was 286 per cent higher than for those who slept seven hours. Sleep is important to health – normal amount of sleep. For people eight hours is sufficient.
