    Default Having a lie-in makes you senile

    Having regular lie-ins in old age can bring on dementia, say scientists.

    Getting too much or too little sleep increases your mental age by two years, researchers showed.

    There is what scientists call the 'goldilocks zone', seven hours, which is neither too much nor too little.

    There we go, it's seven hours now. It always used to be eight.

    That's inflation for you.

    That's bollocks though I reckon. People need different amounts of sleep and it depends how much you've had previously as well. Maybe the average is 7 hours though because I can get away with 4 or 5 some nights but then I'll need 8 or 9 some other night.

    Is being demented even that bad? It's the relatives that have the hardest time of it, the senile old sods don't give a toss!

    Except for Frank Butcher's mum on EastEnders, what a fuck up that was. My mate's gran didn't seem all that bothered.
