Summary
A new study published in the scientific journal Nature suggests that the ideal amount of sleep is not eight hours, but rather between 6.4 and 7.8 hours. The study, which analyzed data from approximately 500,000 volunteers, found that people who slept within this range had better-functioning immune systems, healthier brains, and hearts. The study’s lead author, Dr. Junhao Wen, notes that individual sleep needs may vary, but having some guidance can be helpful.
