Sleep more and life will suck less according to Dr. Phyllis Zee from Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine.

Well, his exact words were: “There is increasing evidence that there is a very strong relationship between sleep quality and physical and mental health... poor health...is associated with poor sleep. Also...there is an association between that (poor sleep) and poor health."

A national survey of 31,044 adults revealed a link between insomnia and other sleeping problems with high blood pressure, heart failure, anxiety, and depression.

While Zee said that there is still no evidence yet that indicates squeezing more sleeping hours makes diabetes, hypertension, and other medical conditions better, studies have shown more sleep makes teenagers do better in school and can even have a major effect on children suffering from depression.
