Seven or more hours' sleep a night boosts the benefits to the heart of a healthy lifestyle, research suggests.

According to a large study, traditional advice on exercise, diet, drinking and smoking reduced deaths from heart disease or stroke, but even more lives were saved by also having enough sleep.

Advice on getting enough sleep could have a substantial impact on public health, say European researchers.

In theory, many heart and stroke deaths could be prevented or postponed.

Oh great... something else for insomniacs to worry about while they're trying to drop off to sleep! 😉

After a night of very broken sleep, finally giving in and getting up at 4:30, I agree! Having said that, if I sleep well in the summer I'm usually wide awake as soon as it gets light 🙂
