“Six hours of sleep is enough, but six hours is the bottom line, if you do not meet the standard for three consecutive days, the body and mind will quietly deteriorate.”

The average adult should sleep six to eight hours a day. “A little less sleep is fine.” If you’re counting on that, the next study upends your understanding.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 27 percent of the world’s population suffers from sleep disorders.
