Hasn't there been case studies where one person actually entered a coma and then died shortly after because of lack of sleep? Q.E.D., your study is already proven true.

All of us had always know that a lack of sleep is harmful for our health in some way or another. But i guess after reading this whole passage, it leads me to one thinking. what is the optimal hours for sleeping every night? Do everyone have the same hours of needs?

I thought it said lack of sheep could be deadly. I sleep from 7am-3pm I'm all good in the sleep department.

Having experienced sleep deprivation for a year of 4 hrs. per nite of poor quality sleep (waking 18 times per hr)i was diagnosed with sleep apnia .My life was a living hell but i still had to show up for life and deal with all the consequences if i wasen't self employed i would have fired me. Thank God there is treatment but don't delay as i did before permanent damage is done to your health all the other stuff is replaceable. See your doctor !

Coke, it makes the officeplace more efficient. Needless to say I didn't get any promotions. I kept my nose clean. 30 years later, I-- still have my health.
