Routinely sleeping less than six or seven hours a night demolishes your immune system, more than doubling your risk of cancer.

Short sleeping increases the likelihood of your coronary arteries becoming blocked and brittle, setting you on a path toward cardiovascular disease, stroke, and congestive heart failure.
