Wink Re: Sleep.......

JOHN8PIES,

Interesting subject. (I may not have to exact % quoted in the new, but they are close).

I saw in the new just last week an article about "TO LITTLE SLEEP VS TO MUCH SLEEP" and it's effects on your health, in particular Being a DIABETIC, AND HEART RELATED ILLNESSES The findings were as follows:

1. Sleeping 6 hours or less a night increases your possibility of having diabetis, and heart problems by 15%(I can't remember the exact percentages. and of course genetic play a huge part as well.

2. Sleeping 9 hours or more a night also increase your risk of diabetis, and heart related illinesses by 25%, the theory being your not moving, so your less active.

3. Sleeping 7 to 8 hours a night DECREASES your possibility of these diseases byt 33%.

SO I GUESS ONCE AGAIN THAT OL 8 HOURS OF SLEEP A NIGHT HAS ITS HEALTH BENEFITS FOR US ALL.. OH AND YOU CAN NEVER CATCH UP ON SLEEP..ONCE YOU MISS AN HOUR IT'S GONE FOREVER..
