Specialists and sleep researcher Dr. Stuart Quan of Brigham and Women's Hospital, England, commented on the results of the study and said it is a common occurrence. The demands of one's time especially for child care can be much greater in families with one parent than in families with two parents.
"In general people will sacrifice sleep time when they have competing priorities like work, domestic work, and social obligations," said Dr. Stuart told LiveScience.
Well, if someone did not get enough sleep 7 hours in a day, then the risk is going to be more easily hurt. Dr. Stuart explains the body's immune system will weaken it works so infections and diseases so easily come.
