Too much or too little sleep

Not flossing you teeth

good night’s sleep may mean the difference between a good day and a bad day. But does
sleeping too much or too little shorten your life? Research conducted by Harvard Medical School claims that those who average either less than five, or more than nine hours sleep a night could find their lifespan significantly decreasing. If you’re after the perfect night’s sleep, science recommends around seven to eight hours to gain all the benefits you need.

This may sound like something dentists would say to scare you, but studies have shown that not flossing between your teeth can lead to gum disease, which has been linked to a number of far more life-threatening conditions, including heart disease, diabetes and kidney failure. In fact, The Journal of Aging Research concluded that never flossing could raise your mortality risk by up to 30%, compared to those who floss every day.
