Abstract in brief

  • This study investigates how irregular sleep patterns affect the risk of major cardiovascular events (MACE) among adults aged 40-79, using data from wrist-worn accelerometers to measure sleep regularity.
  • Results from over 72,000 participants show that those with irregular sleep are at a significantly higher risk of MACE, with the risk increasing as sleep regularity decreases.
  • Importantly, while adequate sleep duration can reduce MACE risk for moderately irregular sleepers, it doesn't offset the high risk for those with irregular sleep, highlighting the need to consider sleep regularity in health guidelines.
