Less than 5 hours of sleep increases chances of depression, experts

According to research, sleeping less than 5 hours a night increases the risk of developing depression symptoms.

Health experts say that lack of sleep increases the chances of depression. In this regard, scientists have been wondering for a long time whether depression (mental stress) causes insomnia or lack of sleep causes depression.

Now, a new research has revealed that the latter is true, i.e. lack of sleep leads to depression.

Researchers say that getting less than 5 hours of sleep a night increases the risk of developing depressive symptoms.

Lead author Odyssa Hamilton, from the Institute of Epidemiology and Healthcare at University College London, said: “When we looked at the genetic potential for disease, we found that sleep was actually more closely related to depression.” There is a relationship. That is, lack of sleep increases the risk of depression.

For this study, scientists analyzed the genetic and health data of 7,000 people with an average age of 65 years.
