** LONGER NIGHT'S SLEEP LINKED TO INCREASED DEATH RATE
Sleep hogs beware. A new study suggests that individuals who sleep
eight hours or more a night actually have an increased death rate
compared to those who average fewer hours. Study subjects who slept
seven hours a night had the best survival rates. Those sleeping eight
hours a night were 12 percent more likely to die over the course of
the study than were those sleeping seven hours a night.
