They discovered that people who slept for less than six hours each night were 12% more likely to die before the age of 65 than those who slept the remended six to eight hours a night. The researchers pointed out that previous studies had shown that the lack of sleep was associated with problems like heart disease and high blood pressure. However, the researchers also found that sleeping too much was linked to an early death. Those who slept for more than nine hours a night were 30% more likely to die early, as an article in the latest Sleep suggested.
