- Title
Toward Optimal Health: The Experts Discuss Sleep Sufficiency and Health.
- Authors
Godfrey, Jodi R.
- Abstract
This article focuses on the discussion by experts on the relation between sleep sufficiency and health. Sufficient sleep is clinically necessary for optimal physical and mental health, and the consequences of inadequate sleep go far beyond feeling lousy. Even so, too few people get enough rest. The most recent proof of women's need for sleep comes from the Harvard Nurse's Health Study, which linked the duration of sleep to cardiovascular disease. More than 70 sleep disorders have been described, including the most common, including insomnia, apnea, restless leg syndrome, and narcolepsy.
