Sleeping well can reduce premature death risk by 30%. Harvard University research suggests that 5 sleeps are better to maintain good habits

[The highlight of this article] A study at Harvard University found that if middle-aged people can follow five sleep habits, including fixed sleep time, reducing daily naps, and good sleep quality, they can reduce the risk of premature death by 30%.

The researchers collected data of more than 170,000 average age of 50 and found that people who meet the five sleep habits had a 30% lower chance of dying for any reason, and their impact on men was significantly higher than that of women, with men's expected life increasing by 4.7 years and women with 2.4 years. The results of the study were presented at the American Institute of Heart Diseases and the World Association for Heart Diseases. --by ChatGPT

A study pointed out that if middle-aged people can maintain five sleep habits, they can reduce the risk of premature death by 30%. Harvard University, who directed the study, said this is one of the most comprehensive sleep studies they have conducted so far.

【 The study found that people who meet the five sleep habits (see the table right) have a 30% lower chance of dying for any cause than people who fail to reach one. People with the best sleep quality are 21% less likely to die from cardiovascular disease; 19% less likely to die from cancer; and 40% less likely to die from other causes (accidents, infections or neurodegenerative diseases such as Buckinson).

research also pointed out that achieving five sleep habits has a significantly higher impact on men than women, and men's expected life increases by 4.7 years and women's 2.4 years. But more research is needed to determine why differences in nature occur. Researchers said that in the past research has mostly been about sleep time, and actually the quality of sleep is very important.
