Eight hours isn’t necessarily the magic number for sleep. Your age, body clock and individual needs all matter.
Compressed hours are linked to tiredness and sleep deprivation, which can result in serious health problems and poorer decision-making.
Participants who woke up fewer times during the night performed better on memory tasks the next day.
Performance changes if you stay awake over two days – but not in the linear way you might expect.

New research suggests disrupted sleep patterns could have more impact on some measures of women’s performance than men’s.
We aren’t slaves to our body clocks: changing your routine could make a huge difference to your sleep patterns.
