UK's Daily Mail newspaper has cited a study on its website that discusses the benefits and importance of having enough sleep. As per Daily Mail story:

"Getting enough sleep can be difficult for many juggling the demands of work, leisure and family. But experts said yesterday that those who clock up seven hours of shut-eye a night can slash the risk of health problems. Those who manage fewer hours double the risk of heart problems, warn researchers."

The report has also discussed the effects of poor sleep on health of our heart:

"Long-term studies show that those who drop down to five hours or fewer face a 70 per cent extra risk of dying from all causes. They also face twice the risk of death from a cardiovascular problem. However, getting more than seven hours can also be a risk, according to the study by the University of Warwick and University College London."
