Sleep Your Way To A Lower Cholesterol
In a 2005 poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, the data collected was compared with those of the previous poll which was carried out in 1998. The comparison revealed some pretty discouraging trends. There are more Americans in 2005 getting less than 6 hours of sleep compared to 1998, while the number of Americans still getting the healthy 8 hours of sleep has fallen in 2005. This highlights a trend seen in developed countries, in which the average number of sleep hours is inversely related to the living standards of the country. Sadly, this study suggests that people are working longer hours to maintain their living standards, but at the expense of their health.
