Dear MEL Topic Readers,
People who sleep 5 hours or less a night face higher risk of multiple health problems as they age, study finds
Sleep impacts both mental and physical health. Sleep refreshes the brain and produces and regulates hormones in the body. Lack of sleep could increase chronic inflammation, which leads to multiple diseases. A new study among 8,000 civil servants in the UK found that those who sleep five hours or less at night have a greater risk of developing multiple chronic diseases as they age than those who sleep longer. Diseases for higher risk are diabetes, cancer, coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, liver disease, depression, dementia, mental disorders, Parkinson’s, and arthritis, nearly all kinds of common diseases common among elderly people. Experts also say it’s not just the duration of sleep but also the quality that matters to your health. We all know that but many still prefer tracking SNS or watching videos on smartphones to closing their eyes.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about how sleep time affects your health in the long run.
