It's not clear how long a healthy sleep should last, but it's very easy to check if the sleep was healthy: when you wake up, you should feel good. You should also make sure that the sleep is uninterrupted. Dr. Sean Drummond of the University of San Diego proved, however, that the optimal sleep time is between six and nine hours.

People with insomnia can use a variety of ways to regulate their lifestyle. Research has shown that people who work night shifts are much more at risk of developing diseases such as diabetes, stroke, and cancer.
