New research has revealed that good sleepers could be 75 percent less likely to suffer from heart disease or stroke.
The research, led by researchers from INSERM, the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research, and looked at more than 7,000 healthy over-50s over a 10-year-period. The findings were presented earlier this week at the European Society of Cardiology’s annual congress in Barcelona.
It was found that as many as nine in ten people do not get a good night’s sleep, and this could be increasing their risk of heart disease or stroke.
