BBC said Professor Francesco Cappuccio - a scientist from the University of Warwick, England's Sleep, Health and Social Program and colleagues analyzed data of 1.5 million people in the UK, America and Europe. Europe and East Asia. These people are the subject of research of 16 previous works.

The analysis showed that after 25 years, those who regularly slept less than 6 hours in the evening had a 12% greater risk of death than those who slept 6 to 8 hours.

Persistent sleep deprivation is a direct cause of health decline and the risk of premature death. Conversely, too much sleep is a sign that health has deteriorated before.

'Average sleep time of people is decreasing in modern society. This trend is evident in workers who work full-time. This suggests that social pressures make a part of workers work more and reduce sleep time , 'Cappuccio said.
