Oct. 19, 2022 – Are you over 50 and getting five hours or less sleep a night? This could be a problem for your long-term health, warns a study published this week.
Researchers in Europe found that getting five or less hours sleep per night could put individuals at a higher risk of developing multiple chronic diseases such as heart disease, depression, cancer or diabetes.
The peer-reviewed study looked at almost 8,000 British civil service workers over an average 25-year period, at the ages of 50, 60 and 70, and found “short sleep duration to be associated with the onset of chronic disease and multimorbidity,” that is, two or more chronic diseases at the same time.
The study was published Tuesday in the journal PLOS Medicine, by research teams from University College London and Université Paris Cité.
