  • Why can't we vote 6 or 7 hours?

    Anyway, it's not so much about opinion as it is about prevailing medical science. Doctors and scientists suggest about 7 to 8 hours of sleep - any more or less and you're looking at increased risk of heart disease, obesity, and diabetes as well as lowered immune system and generally increased mortality.

    Generally, you should try to get whatever amount of sleep it takes for you to function properly during the day. But if that amount is less than 6 or more than 9, that may be problematic for your health.
