A recent study concluded that following a specific sleep-related habit reduces the risk of early death, noting that it is “more important” than getting 8 hours of sleep a day, which is recommended by many experts, according to what the newspaper reported.Wall Street Journal“American.
According to the study, “sleeping 6 hours each night on a fixed schedule was associated with a lower risk of early death compared to sleeping 8 hours irregularly.”
The study reinforces the growing understanding of the links between sleep and longevity. Previous research in recent years has shown that “sleep duration is not the only thing important for health and longevity.”
The study, which was published in the journalthe slab“Sleep regularity reduces the risk of premature death from any cause, by 20 to 48 percent, compared to those who suffer from irregular sleep.”
These included irregular sleep habits, inconsistent bedtime and wake times, interrupted sleep, and napping.
Sleep duration is still important; People who took long, continuous periods had the lowest risk of death, says Angus Burns, a research fellow at Harvard Medical School, who co-wrote the study.
But shorter, consistent sleep was generally associated with lower mortality, compared with longer, inconsistent sleep.
Burns said these results were “welcome” for people whose work and family demands make it difficult to get the recommended 7 to 9 hours a day.
He recommended trying to maintain consistent sleep and wake times, while the difference in times (sleeping and waking) does not exceed one or two hours.
