These animals have a long sleep at night, and a shorter sleep in the midafternoon, with a daily sleep total of about 10 hours. Humans seem to naturally need about the same amount of sleep. For instance, when the pressure of work, alarm clocks, social schedules and advanced technology is removed, people tend to sleep longer.

• Decline in Deep Sleep Causes Men to Age Faster.
• Men as young as 35 are already showing their age, according to a new study finding that changing sleep patterns in midlife could be costing men as much as 75 percent of a hormone known to prevent aging, namely growth hormone.
• The study involved 149 healthy men, ages 16 to 83, none of whom had a history of sleep disorders or took medications. Researchers mapped the chronology of age-related changes in sleep duration and found that the first stage of declining sleep quality hits men between the ages of 25 and 45!.
• Although total sleep time remained constant as men moved into midlife, the proportion of time spent in deep sleep declined from 20 percent for men under 25 to less than 5 percent for those over 35!.

• Also studied by researchers was the second stage of deterioration of sleep due to aging, which occurs after age 50, Van Cauter says.

Cortisol levels normally peak in the mornings and decline to low levels at night, matching a person's sleep patterns, but those with decreased REM sleep appear to have higher cortisol levels at night.
• "Our data support the concept that decreased sleep quality contributes to the wear and tear resulting from over-activity of the stress-responsive systems," Van Cauter says.
