If you sleep more than 8 hours a day, it may indicate the propensity to stroke. About the same time, scientists have warned the elderly. They insist that long sleep is a sign of ill health.

In order to confirm their assumptions, scientists from the British university conducted a study which lasted several years. They found that those who sleep more than eight hours, the risk of stroke is increased by fifty percent. But at risk are those who sleep less than 6 hours – these people are 18% more at risk of stroke than those who sleep of the rules of the time.

A scientist from the Center of sleep disorders Greg Jacobs argues that for the health of the most useful seven o’clock night’s sleep. But more or less time to sleep very early increases the chances of death. The findings of scientists from the University of Massachusetts made based on a decade of research.

But Franco Cappuccino, professor of cardiovascular medicine at the University of British, says do not panic. He argues that sleep in the range between 6 and 8 hours is the norm and to human health does not threatened. He says that to measure the exact duration of sleep is almost impossible, the more trusting the words of the people studied. After all, none of them can not accurately be called not only the number of hours and minutes, the duration of their sleep.
