How much sleep do I need?

Now we know how much we need sleep. I've been to the National Sleep Foundation in the US team of 18 experts from 320 articles and research to provide updated version of "Dream recommendations period of time." Selected materials below the original 2412 on the basis of the strength of the studies.

In making its recommendations, the experts have been taken into account in health benefits but also the risks associated with sleep. Too little sleep for several nights leaves you tired, unable to concentrate, depression, anxiety, and ultimately, if it continues, the increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. It is also associated with a lot of sleep with a lot of the same problems.

So how much is the right amount of sleep? The new guidelines offer not only the recommended amounts, but also remember what may be appropriate for different ages. Between the ages of six and nine children need nine to 11 hours a night, but you can survive with seven to eight. Teenagers need eight to 10 hours. Seven hours may be fine for some, but sleep more than 11 hours a day can be detrimental to your health, although some may need a lot during puberty.

Dr. Lydia DonCarlos Loyola University in Chicago, one of the experts in the study, says the circadian rhythm of teenagers is natural to feel sleepy later at night and wake up later. This is a normal phenomenon and the relationship of being addicted to anything the media. It is warned that teens should still try to get enough sleep a day, instead of creating a sleep debt returning the weekend. "You can never do enough," she says.

Adults 18 to 64 need to sleep for seven to nine hours per night, but some deal with six points. For people who are over 65, the recommended amount is between seven and eight hours, though some survive five hours of sleep (often wake up early and take a nap during the day).
