Seven hours sleep 'best'

每晚7小時(shí)睡眠最養(yǎng)生

Sleeping for 7 hours each night can help you stay healthy, according to new US research. For years, we have been told that 8 hours of sleep provides the best start to the day. But now experts have found that it is 7 hours that brings optimal health – and that more or less sleep may do us harm. A study of more than 30,000 adults found cardiovascular disease is twice as high among those sleeping less than 5 hours a day, compared with those getting 7 hours. Those who slept 9 hours or more also had a markedly increased risk.(See photo)

美國一項(xiàng)最新研究結(jié)果顯示，每晚睡7小時(shí)利于健康。多年以來，我們一直認(rèn)為"每天睡足8小時(shí)，精力充沛一整天"。然而專家發(fā)現(xiàn)，7小時(shí)才是黃金睡眠時(shí)間，睡多睡少都會(huì)有損健康。專家通過對(duì)3萬名成年人進(jìn)行調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，與每天睡足7小時(shí)的人相比，睡眠少于5小時(shí)的，心血管疾病發(fā)病率增加一倍。此外，睡9小時(shí)或以上的患病幾率也顯著增加。(見圖)
