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..
