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 ❤️

Hmm, wouldn't it be more efficient to only sleep once every 3 days and just sleep for 21 hours? I'll try it and let you know.

Ah, a fellow traveller on the coffee and cocaine diet, I see. I'm just heading to bed, I'll be awake again in June.

Could you ask the hatman to give me back my sanity when you see him?

Thanks.
