Researchers have looked at the sleep cycles and daily rest time of several thousand people to understand how to prevent cardiovascular accidents. The results of their study are clear!
We have all asked ourselves one day or another the question of number of hours of sleep essential daily For allow the body to recover. Opinions differ and the idea of restorative rather than long sleep must be taken into account in the reflection. But specialists still agree that nights of 7 to 10 hours on average is an ideal duration to prevent symptoms of anxiety, physical weaknesses and, in particular, a loss of strength, a form of weariness and even loss of appetite in certain cases. “10 to 25% of people” who consult a general practitioner regret feeling “always tired” according to statistics provided by ameli.fr.
On the said site, it is also specified that “6 to 7%” of these patients make an appointment “mainly for this reason” and “the women” are “more concerned” by this phenomenon. The consequences of sleeping troubles can be serious in the long term, so much so that the government website santé.fr confirms that “Adults who meet sleep duration recommendations have higher life expectancy 1.2 years to that of those who sleep less than these recommendations”and of “2.6 years compared to those who sleep more than recommended”.

Prevent the risk of stroke by getting more sleep
The site santé.fr further emphasizes that “Additional studies are nevertheless necessary to confirm and understand these results”in particular to specify that lack of sleep would increase disease risks. The British of DailyMail relay a new study going in this direction and emphasize that push back wake-up time on weekends could be particularly saving.
Scientists from Nanjing Medical University (China) followed 3,400 people to “monitor the impact of sleep cycles on health”. They deduced that people lacking sleep “during the week” but who took “two hours overtime on Saturday or Sunday” were “less likely” to the height of 63% of “to suffer from heart attack or a stroke“. Very logically, those who sleep less than 6 hours per night during the week and who do not postpone their wake-up time during the weekend are at risk of “unlike much higher rates of cardiovascular disease“confirm the scientists.
We also remind you that sufficient rest also helps preventobesity and some depression. You now know what you have to do: press the snooze alarm on the weekend !
