Not all snooze time is equal. Experts explain how to get more 'deep sleep', which they say can help us age better, and aids our memory
Yet many of us aren’t getting enough of it; a 2023 study from Nuffield Health found that on average, British people are only getting 5.19 hours a sleep per night, compared to the 7-9 hours per night the NHS recommends. The same research also found that of those surveyed, only 36 per cent said their sleep was “good”. However, when it comes to studies on how much sleep we’re getting, it’s often hard to untangle how much of that is the deep stage.
“The truth is, we get the amount of deep sleep we need naturally, because our body defends against losing it. Sadly there is no magic bullet for improving your deep sleep, other than improving your overall sleeping habits and getting more sleep in general.”
