too little is bad for you - can knock up to 25 YEARS off your life .. but also too much sleep is bad for you .. can mask ill health.

Wish they'd make their mind up ...

BBC News - Lack of sleep 'linked to early death'

Just pinched myself and I'm still alive Jen:D just:rolleyes:

Re: sleep ..
 

Covered their bases, I'd say. You die either way so I'm personally aiming for too much bobos rather than looking like an anaemic panda and getting shirty with everyone.

These 'studies' contradict each other on a weekly basis, is it any wonder the whole world is completely neurotic???

If all the money wasted on these useless studies was used elsewhere, we would probably have no national deficit!!

I spend a lot of time sleeping, and have found a connection with the peaks in the electromagnic emissions of the sun.

In case you aren't aware of the increase in the intensity of the sun's emissions, there are detailed here-
PLANETOPHYSICAL STATE OF THE EARTH AND LIFE

About 3 years ago I began to experience an overwhelming urge to sleep several times in a day, and the net result was sleep was taking up 50% of my life.
I suspected narcolepsy and visited my doc. I had numerous medical tests and he could find nothing wrong with me, and suggested 'drink lots of coffee'. I am retired from work, so sleep at any time is possible.

I self diagnosed myself with Chronic Fatigue syndrome and began a rigorous regime of vitamin and mineral supplements, detoxed with MMS, and began an organic diet and drink filtered water.

These nutritional changes have given me more energy at the times I am awake, but the overwhelming urge to sleep still happens often.

Since I became aware of the risk and effects of a coronal mass ejection, I have often looked at the space weather sites -

3-day GOES X-ray Flux Monitor
SpaceWeather.com -- News and information about meteor showers, solar flares, auroras, and near-Earth asteroids

I have noticed that my urge to sleep corresponds precicely with the increase in the x ray flux (electromagnetic) emissions of the sun.
On the 7th and 8th May I spent 75% of my time sleeping and that corresponded with a period of intense radiation. The 9th of May was a spell of no activity and I stayed awake all day.
Today I have had a one hour nap at midday, and lo and behold, there was a small peak shown on the graph.

Looks like I spoke too soon as I am still not sleeping.

Re: sleep ..
