Sleep Duration and Disease

Since this article does not have an abstract, we have provided the first 63 words of the full text and any section headings.

It is always comforting to the medical profession when new investigations confirm older observations. Such was the study of Ayas et al,1 which found relatively more coronary events in women reporting either short or long sleep durations. Their study supports the 2000-year-old clinical experience of Hippocrates,2 who noted: "Both sleep and insomnolency, when immoderate, are bad."
