Get a Better Night Sleep

In 1910, Americans received an average of about 9 hours of sleep per day.  In the year 2000, Americans acquired an average of 7 hours of sleep a night.  In 2010, Americans receive even less sleep.  Estimates indicate that American get just over an average of about 6 hours of sleep per night. 

 Lack of sleep impacts hormone levels.  The hormone leptin significantly impacts appetite. Reduction in leptin levels impacts appetite which leads to weight gain.  Eating more contributes to weight gain and obesity.  Lack of sleep also leads to higher cholesterol levels which can lead to clogged arteries.

By getting an additional hour of sleep, estimates indicate that individuals can reduce the risk of clogged arteries by as much as 33 percent. Lack of sleep also has other detrimental side effects  which  influence overall health and well-being. “Getting an additional hour of sleep can literally save your life.”
