The Link Between Sleep and Aging
A study analyzed 23 biological clocks of aging and found that individuals sleeping between 6.4 and 7.8 hours per day had the lowest levels of aging.
This suggests that both a lack of sleep and an excess of sleep could be linked to accelerated body aging.
Health Impacts
Sleep durations that are too short or too long are also associated with various health problems affecting the brain, heart, lungs, metabolism, and digestive system.
These associations highlight the importance of balanced sleep for maintaining overall good health.
