Abstract in brief

  • The review analyzed how factors like sleep timing, regularity, social jetlag, and catch-up sleep affect adult health, finding that later sleep times and irregular sleep patterns are generally linked to worse health outcomes.
  • Sleep was measured both objectively and subjectively across the studies, which looked at 14 different health outcomes, but most results showed linear associations without clear thresholds.
  • The overall conclusion suggests that having earlier, more consistent sleep schedules is beneficial for health, while irregular sleep and social jetlag may harm it.]

Rule 7: Consistent bedtime schedule. Irregular sleep schedules are associated with worse quality of sleep, worse cardio-metabolic health outcomes. https://t.co/rfOOmBT73l

@gorka_orive La cifra recomendada por la OMS de 7-8 horas se basa en estudios observaciónales de baja o moderada calidad. Probablemente, los beneficios del sueño se relacionen más con la regularidad y consistencia (REM, nREM que con la duración como única variable. https://t.co/Y8QHntysHO
