A study suggests that treating insomnia can subsequently reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. Surprising? Here is what the researchers found.[1]
Qiao He, a researcher at China Medical University, says in a news release:
Not getting enough sleep can wreak havoc on your life and could even age your brain significantly. Sleep deprivation makes us grouchy, it makes concentration difficult, and it makes us feel terrible all the way around.
People who get fewer than 6 hours of sleep each night are more likely to catch a cold, researchers are saying.
In what is believed to be the first study of its kind, researchers say people are 4 times more likely to come down with the common cold if they get less than 6 hours of shut-eye per night, compared with those who get at least seven or more hours of sleep. [1]

Here’s a research finding that many people will wish had been discovered when they were children: kids go to school too early in the morning and therefore are often too tired to pay attention and learn.
Research funded by the Department of Health has revealed that losing just 30 minutes of sleep each night during the week can notably increase your risk of developing both obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
