Importance of Sleep and Recommended Hours
Sleep is important for overall health and well-being. The American Association of Sleep Medicine and other organizations recommend a minimum of seven hours of sleep per night. Both too little and too much sleep can increase health risks. Lack of sleep has been linked to an increased risk of death, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, hypertension, and stroke. Additionally, sleep deprivation can lead to increased hunger, food cravings, and decreased food rewards. It also affects memory, work productivity, and can contribute to mental health issues.
