Myth or Fact???

• The more you sleep, the longer your life
  expectancy.

My Prediction

• I think this will be a fact. Since your body
  rebuilds and recovers during sleep, the more
  sleep you get, the better it will be for you.

The Research

• According to www.Forbes.com, a study in 2002
  showed that sleeping too much can reduce life
  expectancy. People who sleep 6 and 7 hours a
  night were shown to live the longest.

  my bedtime should be moved a little later! ?
