Sleep Less, Gain More?

Who doesn’t want permission to sleep in on the weekends?

According to a study done by the Journal of Sleep Research, there can actually be a benefit to over-sleeping on the weekends, especially if you are not getting a full 8 hours of sleep every week night.

When 43,000 adults were studied by the Stress Research institute over 13 years, their study found that adults under the age of 65 did not have increased health issues or mortality rates if they were found sleeping less than 5 hours on the weekdays as long as they stayed in bed an extra few hours on the weekends.

While this may be great news for the generation who never wants to leave bed and binge watch Netflix all day, it was also noted in the study that those who receive more than 8 hours of sleep every night of the week can increase their risk for health issues.

It’s all about balance, but stop beating yourself up for not getting enough sleep on the weekdays. Scientists are finally saying “sleep more on the weekends!” Just tell that to your parents, roommates, or spouse that next time they try and drag you out of bed at 7:30am on a Saturday.
