Sleep and the Brain

I just read an article on RealAge.com about how many hours of sleep is optimum for an adult. This article says 6 to 8 hours is good and more than 9 is not healthy.

Sleep helps your brain function and can make you as sharp as someone 4 to 7 years younger! In a recent study, they gave cognitive-function tests to middle-aged Americans, and found that consistently getting 6 to 8 hours per night, ensured better scores.

Most Americans fall short of the recommended 6 to 8 hours. But in a recent study of middle-aged folks, those who consistently slept 6 to 8 hours a night scored the best on cognitive-function tests.

There have been many studies concerning sleep. Most recommend 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night. Then when they compared 7-hour sleepers to 8-hour sleepers in a long term study, they found that 8 was significantly better, because the 8-hour sleeps had less diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. So if possible schedule 8 hours for sleep. And if you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, contact a hypnotist near you. Hypnosis is very effective for sleep concerns. Most people report that they sleep much better for a few nights after just one session. And this happens even if the issue they went to the hypnotist for was not sleep. Everyone gets that benefit. you can learn self-hypnosis and keep this benefit working for you. It's a no-brainer (LOL). Better sleep means better cognitive function AND better health!
