Healthy or not, adults do sleep less when they become older. And while you may think this would result in them putting their health at risk, guess again. In fact, they are less likely to feel tired as a study showed. The study was published in SLEEP, the official journal of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society.

The length of time that people slept varied in age. For example, elders aged 66 to 83 slept about 20 minutes less than middle-aged adults aged 40 to 55. The latter in turn slept 23 minutes less than young adults aged 20 to 30. So depending on which bracket you may be, these seem to be a common trend. And if you think taking a quick nap will make up for it, guess again. The participants made it through the day without a wink.
