ANNOUNCER: While we all know quality sleep keeps us rested and alert for the day ahead, it now seems that it might even lead to a healthier metabolism and a healthier life.
SANJAY PATEL, MD: Given the wealth of data that exists, it makes a lot of sense that sleeping at least seven hours a night and getting good quality sleep will improve our metabolic function in terms of glucose levels, in terms of body weight, and getting a good night's sleep also makes people feel better.
