A good night’s sleep is what holds the secret of longevity, claims a new study by University of California, San Diego researchers.
Coming in line with a 14-year-old research, the study claims that less than five hours a night is probably not enough; eight hours is probably too much.
A team of scientists, headed by Dr. Daniel F. Kripke, professor emeritus of psychiatry at UC San Diego School of Medicine, revisited original research conducted between 1995 and 1999.
In that earlier study, part of the Women’s Health Initiative, Kripke and colleagues had monitored 459 women living in San Diego (ranging in age from 50 to 81) to determine if sleep duration could be associated with mortality.
Fourteen years later, they returned to see who was still alive and well.
Of the original participants, 444 were located and evaluated. Eighty-six women had died.
Previous studies, based upon questionnaires of people’s sleep habits, had posited that sleeping 6.5 to 7.5 hours per night was associated with best survival.
Kripke and colleagues, whose 1990s research had used wrist activity monitors to record sleep durations, essentially confirmed those findings, but with a twist.
“The surprise was that when sleep was measured objectively, the best survival was observed among women who slept 5 to 6.5 hours. Women who slept less than five hours a night or more than 6.5 hours were less likely to be alive at the 14-year follow-up,” said Kripke.
Kripke said the study should allay some people’s fears that they’re not getting enough sleep.
“This means that women who sleep as little as five to six-and-a-half hours have nothing to worry about since that amount of sleep is evidently consistent with excellent survival. That is actually about the average measured sleep duration for San Diego women,” he added.

Good Health And Long Life â How To Achieve
Who does not wish to have good health and long life? But do we really work for it? We all have heard about the âno-free lunchesâ but we apply it only to making money. What about making good health? Yes, it is very much in our own hands only. What we eat, how do we burn the calories, what we do, how much we rest, how much we take stress â all this decides what kind of health we have and how long we live. Every single moment that we stress-out ourselves reduces another moment from our lives.
