How much sleep do you get a night? Sleep deprivation may cause you to eat more, shrink your brain and could even cause false memories
The National Sleep Foundation, recently issued new recommendations on how much sleep we should all be getting.
They are based on a review of research and a consensus from a group of 18 experts in sleep, science, physiology and medicine.
There are now nine age categories, some of them new. Anything more or less than the identified range is simply not recommended:
• Newborns (0 to 3 months) -- 14 to 17 hours per day
• Infants (4 to 11 months) -- 12 to 15 hours per day
• Toddlers (1 to 2 years old) -- 11 to 14 hours per day
• Preschoolers (3 to 5 years old) -- 11 to 14 hours per day
• School age (6 to 13 years old) -- 9 to 11 hours per day
• Teens (14 to 17 years old) -- 8 to 10 hours per day
• Younger adults (18 to 25 years old) -- 7 to 9 hours per day
• Adults (26 to 64 years old) -- 7 to 9 hours per day
• Older adults (65 and older) -- 7 to 8 hours per day
While there is plenty of research confirming all that goes wrong when you don't get enough sleep, there are also proven steps people can take to help fall asleep and sleep better once they do fall asleep. A new study published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine says mindful meditation helps adults fall asleep and stay asleep.
