According to a new study to be presented at the Sept. 1 meeting of the European Society of Cardiology, a significant health benefit arises from making up for lost sleep, especially over weekends.
The researchers found that sleep-deprived individuals who managed to sleep 90 minutes longer on weekends experienced a roughly 20% lower risk of heart-related illnesses.
Weekend catch-up sleep appears to facilitate critical cardiovascular changes, such as reducing heart rate and lowering blood pressure, which can help mitigate the risks associated with sleep deprivation.
Chronic sleep deprivation significantly exacerbates it increases the odds of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and severe heart conditions, emphasizing the urgent need for proper sleep health.
