New Research Shows Extra Weekend Sleep Benefits Heart Health
Recent research provides compelling evidence that getting extra sleep on the weekend, particularly to compensate for weekday sleep deprivation, can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease and heart attacks.
A major study, presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2024 and involving over 90,000 adults in the U.K., revealed a clear correlation. Participants who managed to catch up on the most sleep during the weekend were found to be approximately 19% to 20% less likely to develop heart disease compared to individuals who did not make up for their weekday sleep loss. These findings underscore the critical role of sufficient sleep, even if accumulated over the weekend, in maintaining cardiovascular health.
