The question of how much sleep is optimal has long intrigued researchers and individuals alike, with different myths surrounding it. While individual sleep needs vary, experts recommend that adults aim for at least 7 hours of sleep per night. Sleep, just like diet and exercise, is vital for good health and overall well-being.

Failing to consistently obtain quality sleep can significantly increase the risk of various diseases and disorders, ranging from heart disease and stroke to obesity and dementia. Prioritizing good sleep habits is essential for maximizing our well-being.
