Getting a good night's sleep may have surprising benefits, including adding up to six years to your life. This and other results of the National Sleep Center decade-long study of the effects of sleep deprivation on adults were announced yesterday at a press conference by Margaret Norwood, the research scientist who headed the study. Dr. Norwood stressed that getting adequate sleep is not a luxury, it is critical to proper brain functioning. People who sleep well show greatly enhanced moods, improved memories, and better job performances and are significantly less likely to be involved in accidents.

Dr. Hugh Weatley, the director at the center, agreed, stating that, while individuals do vary in their need for sleep, "most adults require one hour of sleep for every two hours of wakefulness. He suggested that individuals determine their own requirements by sleeping for the amount of time they think they need for a week.
