It was seen from the research that was released today that if a person wanted to live 100 years he/she should sleep for at least ten hours a day.
A research done on 2,800 people who were 100 or older showed that by sleeping nicely a person could live longer.
“Surprisingly, the oldest adults, aged 100 and above, were 70 per cent more likely to report good sleep quality than younger participants aged 65 to 79, after controlling for variables such as demographic characteristics, socioeconomic status and health”, said Dr Danan Gu, of Portland State University, Oregon.
He also mentioned that 65% of the sample showed their sleep quality was good and the average daily sleep time was around 7.5 hours. He also mentioned that men could sleep better than women by 23%.
It was seen that the people who slept less suffered from poor health and anxiety. It was also noticed that adults who were aged 80 and over, could sleep more or less than the people who were aged 65 to 79.
It was explained by Professor Colin Espie, a Clinical Psychologist and Director of the University of Glasgow Sleep Centre that he was a little shocked with the results.
