Sleep: What's Too Much or Too Little?

An interesting article in Time Magazine [story]. What is too much and what is too little as far as sleep goes? Everyone hears about the recommended 8 hours, so is that really true?

Well, almost. This study suggests getting 6.5 to 7.5 hours a night. People that get this in a study involving over 1,000,000 adults live longer. Oh, and that's not all. You also get less disease and maintain a healthier weight! The miracle drug: sleep. Don't we wish?

Who knew that trying to get that 8 recommended hours was slightly on the high side. Guess I'll have to switch my routine around. Cut my sleep by half an hour. I guess that means I can stay up later watching Lost online!
