over on that lifestyle improvememt thread
someone has posted the notion of only having 6
hours sleep 'no more no less'.
i thought it was 8 hours that was healthiest by far ?
any scientific evidence that proves it's better either way ?
are short 'doses' of sleep really healthier ?
i know that after a day of work, that 15-20 minutes sleep before going out is *fantastically* revitalising, to the extent that i can't sleep again then for another few hours at least.

what does anyone think ?

i took the longevity tips thread here at the immortality institute to see what would go down and what not.

In there, on this particualr point I wrote:

"also, each tip should have a space for the users to write comments and possibly to challenge it.
for an example you wrote (8+ hrs) of sleep but I've read that more than 8h could actually reduce life expectancy.
Looking for this article i found another one, a critique of this study (to be found at skepticism.net) but I'm still not sure what's best for me."
