“Seven hours of sleep was found to be the optimal length of sleep for maintaining healthy blood pressure,”

When in the military the claim of 7 1/2 hours was all you needed. I loved to try and cheat for a full 8 hours.

When working killer rotating shifts for the last 31 years the amount needed was as much as you could get. Often 4 hours, then another three or four hours later as the body rhythms did not allow a full 7 or 8 hours sleep.

I sleep like crap. Work two jobs. 7 hours would be awesome. And I am retired..

Short Sleeping and long sleeping are both hazards. What the....?

I’d rather get less sleep than recommended than more. When I over-sleep, I am in a hazy funk for at least a day and a half afterwards. With sleep deprevation, I seem to be sharper.

Interesting that too much sleep (more than 7 hours) also increases risk of high blood pressure.
