Summary
A recent report highlights research suggesting an optimal “sweet spot” for sleep that supports longevity. Scientists found that adults who regularly sleep about six to eight hours per night show the lowest signs of biological aging compared with those who sleep less or more. The study indicates a U-shaped pattern, in which both insufficient and excessive sleep are associated with faster aging and higher health risks. Researchers also associate the balanced sleep range with reduced risks of chronic diseases and earlier death. Experts emphasize that consistent, moderate sleep—not extremes—appears most beneficial for long-term health and lifespan.
