What? Now we’re getting too much sleep? The latest sleep statistics...


Some of us don’t get enough sleep. Some of us are getting too much...
That’s the word from a recent University of Sydney sleep study. They looked at 10 countries, including the U.S., and asked participants to record their hours of sleep. The Americans were more likely to sleep more than nine hours and less likely to sleep fewer than six hours.
While sleep is good, more than nine hours on a regular basis is considered bad. The increase in sleep totals tend to go hand in hand with lack of employment, inactivity and depression. The Americans aren’t the only one’s sleeping in. Similar sleep patterns were seen in Australia, Sweden, Finland and the U.K.
