Resumo(s)
Since the last three decades, we care about sleep as a relevant medical issue. We actually believe, because evidence support it, that sleep is a mediator of good health. Sleep is actually a matter of survival. However, exactly how much sleep is adequate is a theme of active debate, mainly because some studies showed that either too much and too little sleep are linked to an increased risk regarding cardiovascular health and global morbidity and mortality [2]. Shorter and Longer Sleepers were stablished as normal deviations, taking account inexistent health related consequences despite shorter or longer time than the average sleep duration. Semantically we can accept this data as showing that sleep is so important that we should not jeopardize it or abuse of it. But there is much more to admire regarding the science behind these results on the adequate amount of sleep than just poetry and caution is needed because accepting non-universal facts as absolute true may sometimes really negatively impact clinical management in sleep medicine. Consensus approved that adequate amount of sleep is 7 to 9h for adults and for years several health-related authorities warned about dangers associated to the non-accomplishment to that role.
