They found that sleeping less increased the risk for death by 12 percent, compared to those who slept 7 to 8 hours per night.A more recent study looked at the effects of persistent insomnia and mortality over 38 years. The researchers found that those with persistent insomnia had a 97 percent increased risk of death.
