The study, published in a medical journal, analyzed data from over 10,000 participants over a span of 5 years.According to the study, individuals who reported getting less than 6 hours of sleep per night were at a higher risk of developing heart disease compared to those who got 7-8 hours of sleep. The researchers also found that poor sleep quality, such as frequent waking during the night, was associated with a greater risk of heart disease.
The findings highlight the importance of getting an adequate amount of sleep each night for overall heart health. Experts recommend establishing a consistent sleep routine and creating a comfortable sleep environment to promote better sleep quality and reduce the risk of heart disease.
