Always had a feeling this was true: Sleep the right amount, live longer, sleep the wrong amount, age faster!

"...scientists narrowed down a “sweet spot” of between 6.4 and 7.8 hours of sleep per night. Sleep durations that fall too much on either side of that, the study found, were associated with accelerated aging." (For some it's 4, for some 9 though)

Just thought I would share this, as it seems important to all of us who don't love aging ❤️

When I think of people I know that actually sleep more than 8 hours, they're really overweight. Like you can hear them snoring all throughout the day

That...sounds like they're not actually sleeping those hours.

I sleep 9 hours and my BMI is so critically underweight it tells me to go visit doctors.
