The One With The Heart Attack

I just read an article saying that if you have less than seven and a half hours of sleep a night, you'll raise the risk of heart disease by up to four times. That's just scary. Imagine just having 10% chance of getting a heart attack and you sleep less than seven and a half hours of sleep, then all of a sudden, you'll be having 40% chance of getting a heart attack!

Apparently, getting too much sleep can also be a risk. If you sleep more than eight hours a night, you'll double the disk of dying from all causes. That is so messed up. It means to stay safe, you'll need to sleep between seven and a half hours and eight hours. Anything outside this half hour range, you'll increase the risk of having a heart disease. Now you'll be waking up not because you'll be late for class or late for work but because you wanna live!

If you die because of oversleeping, that is probably the worst way to die. "Cause of Death : Overslept"! Your tombstone will read "Here lies a great man who slept too much for his own good". Haha.
