“It’s a luxury, right?” said Dr Kelsie Full, a behavioral epidemiologist and an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The study could not confirm that inconsistent sleep patterns definitively caused the heart issues, Dr Full said. And if you go to bed at 4am on a Saturday, you’re probably better off sleeping until noon and avoiding some of the acute effects of sleep loss than forcing yourself awake at the time you get up for work, he said.
Last summer, the American Heart Association added sleep duration to its checklist for measuring cardiovascular health. “Keeping a regular, set schedule,” she continued “is more likely to put your body in a place where it needs to be to get a full night’s sleep going forward.”
