Sleep is necessary for efficient and productive functioning, with studies suggesting that most people require around seven to eight hours of sleep per night. Lack of sleep can lead to health issues such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, and individuals who consistently sleep less than seven hours a night have an increased risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and even a 12% higher risk of death, while those who sleep more than eight hours carry an increased risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and a 30% increased risk of mortality. However, variations exist, and genetics also play a role, with some individuals being able to function normally on only six hours of sleep due to a specific gene mutation.
