  According to latest research by british scientists chances of having breast cancer is higher in those females who are taking sleep less than six hours. After studying sleeping style of 24000 females and history of breast cancer, scientists had concluded that the chances of breast cancer is 62% higher for those females who are sleeping less than six hours.

  Scientists added more to the research that less sleep causes problem in production of Melatonin Hormone. Melatonin hormone helps in stopping development of tumer in breast. Due to lack of hormone the immune power against tumer gets decreased and thus chances of breast cancer increases.

  So in order to stay health and fit females need to sleep atleast eight hours a day so that their body can produce ample amount of melatonin hormone which helps in fighting tumer cells of cancer.

  Sleep is very much responsible for many other important functions of body, so sleep well and stay healthy.
