Abstract
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 [1]. 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].
