Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. Among the objectives of preventive cardiology is the design to understand and neutralise the clinical overlap between disordered sleep and CVDs. Seldom do studies measure 'sleep health' beyond the absence of disease. Explored herein are the cardiovascular (CV) outcomes of sleep health on the grounds that, more than a corollary of sleep disorder research, sleep health constitutes a critical determinant of cardiac health and disease not unlike diet and physical activity. That sleep interventions can reverse the CV consequences of poor sleep habits lends credence to the notion that sleep health benefits CV health, and that the importance of sleep health percolates far beyond sleep disorder research. Overall, sleep health, and its practicable correlate: sleep hygiene, are clinical imperatives in the foreseeable future of cardiology in the 24-hour society.
