“Get a full eight hours of sleep!”
is something most of us have heard a thousand times.
Is consistency more important than duration?
And this isn’t the first time irregular sleep habits have been connected to poor health outcomes.
The same study showed that irregular sleepers are more likely to report chronically high stress levels and depression.
This study is preliminary, but it’s the first ever to link irregular sleep habits with atherosclerosis.
This gives us some wiggle room, but not much.
Maintaining consistent sleep patterns takes a little intention and planning, and nobody will ever be perfect.
