Why do some people need more sleep than others regardless of their activity level?
Everybody is different and the need for sleep decreases with age. People seeming to need more sleep could be due to a number of causes ranging from stress to overwork to laziness.Research shows that people who spend 10 or more hours in bed per night are more prone to premature death than those needing 8 or less hours per night, but nobody really knows why. But importantly, if you, or else somebody you know, seems to always wake up very tired and appears to need much more sleep than am average person does, get checked out for Sleep Apnoa. Somebody with this disorder actually ceases breathing for 10 seconds or more and this can have very serious consequences if not dealt with.
