"Less Than 8 Hours of Sleep May Not Hurt Health"
"One needs to be careful in evaluating these studies as 99 percent of the funding to support this type of research is from pharmaceutical companies. While it does not appear that this study was funded by the drug companies, the editorialist in the journal are clearly paid by the drug companies that make sleeping pills."
Earlier research from the University of Chicago is quite clear that sleeping less than 6.5 hours will cause disruption in insulin receptor sensitivity which will increase one's risk for diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.
Other research shows that too little sleep will accelerate aging and raise cortisol levels.
While sleeping more than 8 hours may not be necessary, clearly sleeping much less than 7 hours is likely to be highly detrimental for most people.
