He argues that the study helps to maintain that healthy sleep does not necessarily mean quantity. Moreover, he stresses that the quality has far more impact on an individuals’ health. This means that is you sleep for eight hours or more during the night yet feel under-rested and/or tired the next morning, then the quality of your sleep is unhealthy leading you towards unhealthy and irregular sleep patterns. Thereby, the focus should be on maintaining the quality of sleep rather than completing the desired number of hours.
