Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life. Getting seven to nine hours of sleep each night can help reduce your risk of health problems like forgetfulness, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and depression. Unfortunately, one in three adults don’t get the recommended amount of uninterrupted sleep they need to protect their health.
