Boston: Experts warn that restful, deep and complete sleep is not only essential for your daily activities, but it can also be a guarantee of longevity.
But experts have previously emphasized that the quality of sleep should be better, which is also deep and restful. Above all, poor sleep habits can also lead to aging.
It is expected that if you get deep and full-time sleep throughout your life, it can add at least 5 years to your life. For this, experts recommend seven or eight hours of sleep a night, but it should also be standard. Even inadequate sleep accounts for 8% of deaths in the world due to insufficient sleep.
Dr. Frank Qian of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, USA and his colleagues have said that quality sleep is the guarantee of a healthy heart and if sleep is bad, it can lead to heart diseases. In this regard, scientists carefully read the data of 172,321 people whose average age was 50 years and 54% of them were women. The survey ran from 2013 to 2018 and asked participants questions specifically about sleep. Experts calculated the level of sleep on a scale of 0 to 5, with zero or one for the worst sleep and 5 for the best sleep.
Then, after an average of 4.3 years, 8,680 people died, of which 30 percent died from heart disease, 24 percent from cancer, and 46 percent from other causes. It found that people who slept deeply, restfully, and richly had a 30 percent lower risk of premature death from any cause, a 21 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease, and a 19 percent lower risk of dying from cancer. While the risk of dying from other causes was also less by 40%.
Experts have also noted that people who had poor sleep had a higher mortality rate. This is why they have emphasized deep and complete sleep for a happy and long life.
