Regular 10pm bedtime linked to lower heart risk

By
Image
  IMAGE SOURCE, GETTY IMAGES There appears to be an optimal bedtime - between 10pm and 11pm - linked to better heart health, say researchers who have studied 88,000 volunteers. The team behind the UK Biobank work believe synchronising sleep to match our internal body clock may explain the association found with a reduced risk of heart attacks and strokes. The body's natural 24-hour rhythm is important for wellbeing and alertness. It can also impact things like blood pressure. For the study, which was published in the European Heart Journal, the researchers collected data on sleep and wake times over seven days using a wristwatch-like device worn by the volunteers. And they followed up what happened to the volunteers in terms of heart and circulatory health over an average of six years. Just over 3,000 of the adults developed cardiovascular disease. Many of these cases occurred in people who went to bed later or earlier than the "ideal" 10pm to 11pm. The link persisted aft...
