If were planning on sleeping in this weekend, then a study just published Journal of Sleep Research may help you sleep even better. Not surprisingly, people under 65 years of age who slept for 5 hours or less on each weekend day were 52% more likely to have died than those who got 7 hours of sleep on each weekend day. What was interesting was that those who had 5 hours or less of sleep per weekday but 7 hours per weekend day did not have a higher risk of death than those who had 7 hours of sleep each and every day. Getting enough sleep on weekends is probably better than never getting enough sleep. Of course, one worry may be that longer sleep on weekends may throw off your sleep cycle for the weekdays.
