"Are you yawning at your desk today? If you got less than six hours of sleep last night, and this is a pretty regular thing for you, read on... Health experts have known for a long time that sleep is key to good health--and happiness. But did you know that not getting enough sleep can also reduce your lifespan? In a new study, British researchers say that getting less than six hours of sleep per night is associated with a higher risk of heart attack, stroke and heart failure. In fact, in the 1,000 people studied, those that got less than six hours of sleep a night were twice as likely to have a stroke or heart attack 70 percent more likely to have congestive heart failure as compared to people who slept more than six hours per night. That&amp;#x27;s a big deal! And, because it&amp;#x27;s very easy to get less than six hours a night when leading a busy life (I&amp;#x27;m guilty!), I think this is a reminder that we all need. How many hours do you get a night? More about sleep: *Tossing and turning? This could be the sad reason. *Want to feel sharp in the morning? Don&amp;#x27;t let this happen. *The easy way to zap nightmares. Photo: Thinkstock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
