Maintaining a regular healthy sleep schedule may help guard against premature death, new research suggests.
In a diverse group of older adults, those with regular and optimal sleep had about a 40% lower risk of dying of any cause during follow-up than peers who with irregular and insufficient sleep.
The findings were presented at SLEEP 2023, the 37th annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies.
The regular and optimal duration sleep pattern maps behaviorally to regular bed and wake times, suggesting potential health benefits of adherence to recommended sleep practices, the researchers note. Fariha Abassi-Feinberg, MD, spokesperson for the AASM and sleep specialist with the Millennium Physician Group, Fort Myers, Florida, agrees.
