Getting extra sleep over the weekend could be just what your heart needs to stay healthy and strong.
About 1 in 3 people say they don’t get enough rest or sleep every day, and adults typically need between 7 and 9 hours per night.
Previous research has already linked sleep problems with a range of health problems that put people at higher risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
In a new study, researchers defined sleep deprivation as regularly getting less than 7 hours per night.
They compared health outcomes of 91,000 people over a 14-year period for the sleep deprived and non-sleep deprived groups.
