Regularity of Sleep & Mortality Risk
A study using the UK BioBank database with over 60,000 individuals revealed that those with the most regular sleep had a 39% reduced risk of mortality compared to highly irregular sleepers. Regular sleepers also had a 35% lower risk of cancer mortality and a 60% lower risk of cardiovascular mortality.

The study highlighted the significant importance of regular sleep in reducing mortality risk, emphasizing the need to prioritize regularity over sleep duration.
