Article Synopsis
- Irregular sleep-wake patterns can disrupt circadian rhythms and may increase the risk of death from all causes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, according to a study of nearly 89,000 participants from the UK Biobank.
- Researchers assessed sleep regularity using a Sleep Regularity Index (SRI) derived from activity data, with lower SRI scores indicating less regular sleep schedules.
- The study found that individuals with highly irregular sleep (lowest SRI) had a significantly higher risk of mortality, while those with more consistent sleep patterns (highest SRI) showed lower mortality risk, emphasizing the importance of sleep regularity for health.
Article Synopsis
- * A study with nearly 89,000 participants calculated a Sleep Regularity Index (SRI) to assess how consistent their sleep patterns were, revealing a non-linear relationship between sleep regularity and mortality risk.
- * Participants with very irregular sleep patterns had a significantly higher risk of death, while those with more regular sleep schedules showed lower mortality risk, highlighting the importance of maintaining consistent sleep habits.
