Researchers at the University of Warwick (UK), in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine Federico II, in Italy, has discovered that people who sleep less than six hours each night are a 12 percent more prone to death of premature death than those who rest each night between six and eight hours recommended.
This study, published this in few last day in the magazine specialized on ‘Sleep’, offers evidence unequivocal of direct links that exist between a dream of short duration (less than six hours each night) and an increase of the possibilities of suffering a premature death.
The authors of the work also indicated that sleeping too much (more than nine hours each night) can also be a cause for concern because contrary to what happens when you sleep shortly, when sleeping too does not increase the risk of death, but can be a significant marker of a potentially fatal disease still unknown.
The research analyzed the relationship between the level of usual duration of the dream and mortality reviewed 16 studies of the United Kingdom, United States, Europe and East Asia. This study included more than 1.3 million patients, which were followed for 25 years, a period in which were recorded more than 100,000 deaths in this group.
The results showed clear evidence that there direct links between the dream short and too long and the increased risk of premature death, compared with those participants slept between six and eight hours on average.
