How much sleep we have has a real impact on our lives. The amount needed varies from person to person but according to a recent poll more than two-thirds of us in the UK don’t get the recommended seven to eight hours with one third of us getting less than six hours.
Researchers at the University of Warwick have found that having seven hours sleep a night can actually reduce your risk of developing health problems - having less than five hours can double your risk of heart disease. Sleep is important for our daily recovery both mentally and physically - insufficient sleep is a risk factor in weight gain, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.
