According to recent medical research, sleeping more than

nine hours or jess than six hours a night can shorten your life

expectancy. Those who are likely to live longest are people

who regularly get seven or eight hours a night. A new survey

of 1,000 adults conducted by the Better Sleep Council found

that few people understand the important role sleep plays

normal daily brain functions and many people actually

reduce their brain power by getting too little sleep.

One in three adults admit that they do not get enough

sleep, and lack of sleep is leaving millions of people without

the energy to work as hard as they should. Although a large

number of people say that they need to be mentally alert

their work, over half of the people interviewed say that the

sleep just under seven hours a night during the week. On the

other hand, most of the people interviewed say that they

sleep more than seven hours a night at the weekend. This

suggests that a significant number of people try to catch u;

on their sleep at the weekend instead of getting enough sleep

during the week, when they most need it.

According to this survey, nearly half of the population

believe that the brain rests when the body sleeps. In fact,

the opposite is true. Sleep allows the brain to go to work,

filling and storing the day's events.
