The way you sleep has ties to 80 different diseases
Thomas Edison famously regarded sleep as a waste of good work hours, electing to snooze a mere three or four hours every night. Benjamin Franklin wasn’t much of a fan of it either, quipping in his famous almanac, “in the grave, will be sleeping enough.”Continue ReadingCategory: Sleep, Wellness and Healthy Living, Body and MindTags: Sleep, Well-being, Disease, Brain, rapid-eye-movement, Peking University
REM and deep sleep, not just total sleep time, associated with disease risk
Greater amounts of REM and deep sleep were associated with lower risks of dozens of diseases, and less than 5 hours of total sleep was associated with high disease risks, according to a new study published Sept. 17 in the journal PLOS Medicine by Shengzhi Sun of Capital Medical University, China, and colleagues.
Your sleep schedule could be making you sick, says massive new study
A global study of over 88,000 adults reveals that poor sleep habits—like going to bed inconsistently or having disrupted circadian rhythms—are tied to dramatically higher risks for dozens of diseases, including liver cirrhosis and gangrene.

Scientists now say it's time to redefine “good sleep” to includ…
If you get a full 8 hours of sleep but still feel tired the next day, the problem may not be just about sleep duration. A new study involving 95,559 people found that for middle-aged and older adults, the lower risk of most diseases corresponds to 6 to 8 hours of sleep per night; deep sleep, REM sleep, nighttime wakefulness, and sleep regularity are also related to future health.
expert reaction to REM/deep sleep, not just sleep duration, linked with risk of several diseases
A study published in PLOS Medicine looks at sleep types (REM/deep sleep) and risk of diseases. Dr Nina Rzechorzek, MRC Clinician Scientist | Brain Temperature & Neural Circadian Rhythms, University of Cambridge, said: “This is a large, carefully analysed prospective study, with important strengths including nearly 96,000 participants, almost nine years of follow-up, stringent correction for testing more than 1,000 health outcomes, and several…
