Can Sleeping 8 Hours Kill You Faster?

A recent study done byrepparttar University of California andrepparttar 114157 shocking finding of it: "People who sleep 8 hours or more have a 50% higher mortality (death) rate than people who sleep less." Yes, it's true that such a study was carried out, in fact in a moment I will give you a link to a short 2 page report onrepparttar 114158 entire study so you can read about it for yourself, and viewrepparttar 114159 results of it.

However, does this mean that sleeping longer will create a higher chance of death and disease for you?

No. There's no solid proof for that, but as you read about this study, and if you've readrepparttar 114160 two free chapters I sent you from our Powerful Sleep eBook, you might have realizedrepparttar 114161 connection between less sleep, your daily energy levels, andrepparttar 114162 strength of your immune system.

As you might notice, it's during deep sleep that your body undergoes major physiological changes to repair your muscles, power up your immune system and replenish your energy.

The question really isn't "how long should I sleep?" The question really is...

"How can I optimize my sleep system to gain POWERFUL and QUALITY sleep."

You see, there is a difference between quantity, and quality. The problem, andrepparttar 114163 challenge is that most people don't understand sleep. They think sleep is a very basic thing that happens to us every night. I mean, think about it, we sleep, we wake up, and we magically feel refreshed, right? Because of this misunderstanding, many people live today with very out of balance sleeping systems that are deprive you of your energy, without even being aware of it.

Sleep is actually quite a complex and fascinating system. Here, briefly, arerepparttar 114164 effects of sleeping longer: Sleeping longer than you need to will weaken your sleep system, as you reduce your prior wakefulness, exposure to sunlight, activity levels, and your body temperature at a low for too long. As a result, your melatonin hormone levels will stay high longer, you'll be more tired and drowsy duringrepparttar 114165 day When you sleep for long periods of time, your body temperature doesn't rise as quickly inrepparttar 114166 morning. This results in feeling very drowsy and tired forrepparttar 114167 early part of your day. If you stay inactive, this body temperature pattern will lead to poor sleep, which will prevent you from sleeping deeply. This weakened sleep system and inability to get proper restful and energizing sleep creates low energy levels and a weakened immune system.

Why Poor Sleep Lowers Your Immune System

Have you ever wondered 'exactly' why we tend to sleep longer when we're sick? As you might already know, we sleep in "sleep cycles". We can categorize these cycles into "light sleep", and "deep sleep." But just HOW important deep sleep is to our immune system?... As you read, it's duringrepparttar first 3-4 hours of our sleep that we experiencerepparttar 114156 longest period of Stage 3 and Stage 4 sleep. Stage 3 and Stage 4 Sleep is also commonly termed "deep sleep." It's during deep sleep that we experience very low brain waves called Theta and Delta brain waves. Our blood vessels dilate and allrepparttar 114157 blood that is usually stored in our organs throughoutrepparttar 114158 day moves into our muscles to nourish and repair them. Our immune system also activates during deep sleep to fight disease. This is why people tend to sleep longer when they're sick. When you don't take proper care of your inner sleeping system, you're usually at risk of "poor sleep." Poor sleep happens for a variety of reasons which I outline inrepparttar 114159 Powerful Sleep book, butrepparttar 114160 main "symptom" isrepparttar 114161 inability orrepparttar 114162 difficulty of obtaining proper amounts of "deep sleep." It's very common for people who travel across many time zones to get sick very quickly, we usually blame this on "Jet-Lag." However, jet lag happens because ofrepparttar 114163 body's natural body temperature rhythm being out of alignment. Jet-Lag commonly creates a disruption of deep sleep, added withrepparttar 114164 stress of travel, this is a perfect mixture for lowering one's immune system. Most people live without being aware of allrepparttar 114165 actions they're taking in their lives that are completely detrimental to their sleeping system, which are depriving them of energy, and making them SLEEP LONGER than they really need to. Fortunately, there are simple methods to take proper care of your inner sleep system, and strengthen it for maximum performance.
