Too much or too little sleep are both bad for our health, according to a new study — further evidence that it’s our body clock that counts
Lindsay Dodgson, provided by Published 10:23 am, Wednesday, June 13, 2018 Omar Havana/Getty Images A new study suggests too little or too much sleep could be equally bad for your health.

His eyes are so dry and sore that he puts drops in every half-hour; sometimes they burn “like when you’re chopping onions.” His night vision is so poor that going out after dark is treacherous. But Mr. Ramirez says that as far as his surgeon is concerned, he is a success story. “My vision is considered … [Read more...] about Lasik’s Risks Are Coming Into Sharper Focus
