How Sleep Duration Affects Health: 1 to 12+ Hours

Attention. If you don't sleep, you can die.

If you sleep only one hour per night, you'll be extremely tired.

If you sleep just two hours,

your short-term memory will be affected. If you sleep only three hours,

your reaction time gets slower. If you sleep four hours, you become irritated

very quickly. If you sleep five hours, your motivation drops.

If you sleep only six hours, your concentration decreases.

If you sleep between seven and eight hours per night, you're safe.

That's the ideal sleep duration.

If you sleep nine hours per night, your recovery is optimal.

That's the perfect amount for most people. If you sleep 10 hours,

you may start developing cardiovascular issues. That's too much.

If you sleep 11 hours,

you're likely dealing with depression. If you sleep 12 hours,

you may have sleep disorders. And if you sleep more than 12 hours per night,

you increase your risk of early mortality.
