THE SLEEP HABIT THAT’S MORE IMPORTANT THAN GETTING 8 HOURS


NEW SCIENCE UNCOVERS THE SLEEP PRACTICES THAT MATTER FOR A LONGER LIFE

There is hope for those of us who live (and sleep) in the real world: Getting
less than 8 hours of shut-eye a night doesn’t mean you’re doomed to an early
grave.

A recent study looking at sleep and longevity found that sleep
“regularity”—going to bed and waking up at consistent times with few mid-slumber
interruptions—matters more than how long you sleep. Sleeping six hours every
night on a consistent schedule was associated with a lower risk of early death
than sleeping eight hours with very irregular habits.
