The Price of Poor Rest: Exploring the Numerous Risks of Not Sleeping Well

Updated: Jan 16

The Price of Poor Rest: Exploring the Numerous Risks of Not Sleeping Well


The research looked at different sleep sections and divided over 4000 people into 4 groups:

  • people with a “very short” sleep duration of fewer than 6 hours

  • , people who slept 6-8 hours,

  • a normal sleep duration of 7-8 hours,

  • and then a group of people who had a long sleep duration of more than 8 hours.




They also looked at their cardiovascular health – how much fatty plaque they had built up in the arteries of their heart and body.


And they took out factors that could have confused the results, like how often the person exercised and whether they smoked.


What they found was having a very short sleep duration, under six hours a night, was associated with a higher risk of having early fatty plaque buildup in the body’s arteries. It’s the fatty plaque that can cause a heart attack.
