Therapist Shari B. Kaplan explains why six hours of sleep isn't enough. People who chronically sleep less than six hours face a 30% higher risk of dementia and struggle with daily focus and productivity. Eight hours is what the research supports.
For all you people out there who are getting eight hours of sleep, good for you. And for those of us who are out there like me, oh, like me, who are getting six hours or less a night, oh my my my! We are risking our productivity and our attention on a day-to-day basis, and we are also risking a thirty percent chance of dementia. So those of you who are superstars in getting the eight hours of sleep, be on. On just good sleep hygiene for people who just need more time to be able to sleep, please put your comments below. I want to hear how people are able to build 8 hours of sleep into their evening. There are really strong studies out there showing how important it is for us to get 8 hours of sleep. So any help out there, please send us a message. We really want to hear your skills and tools of how you're getting your 8 hours of sleep.
