We’re not saying sleeping for 7-8 hours is like Harry Potter’s magic wand that can defend dark arts. However, sleeping for 7-8 hours can help you avoid chronic diseases such as:

1. Diabetes

A disease in which the body’s ability to produce or respond to the hormone insulin is impaired, resulting in abnormal absorption of carbohydrates and elevated levels of glucose in the blood.

2. Cardiovascular Disease

Group of disorders that affect the heart and blood vessels.

3. Obesity

Overweight and obesity are abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a health risk.

4. Depression

Feelings of severe hopelessness and dejection.

So you see, getting quality sleep can save you some of the cash you could have spent on hospital bills.
