This is the heart’s healthiest sleep time.

“The body has a 24-hour internal clock, a circadian rhythm that helps regulate the functioning of the body and mind,” study author David Plans, from the University of Exeter, UK, said in a statement from the European Society of Cardiology. ESC).

While reliable causality cannot be derived from the epidemiological study, going to bed too early or too late is more likely to damage the circadian rhythm and therefore has a negative impact on cardiovascular health. So far, no scientific study has analyzed it.

Going to bed between 10 pm and 11 pm may be worth it.

The study included data from 88,026 people from the British “UK Biobank” registry with information from 2006 to 2010. The average age of the people was 61. 58 percent were women. Participants documented their lifestyles with detailed questionnaires. This was then compared with the incidence of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack, stroke and chronic ischemic heart disease.

In the scientific study published in the “European Heart Journal – Digital Health”, it was recorded that cardiovascular disease was seen in 3172 people during an average 5.7-year observation period. This corresponded to a share of 3.6 percent. This was at least true for study participants who went to bed regularly between 10 PM and 11 PM.

Cheap prevention methods?

On the other hand, sleeping after midnight meant a 25 percent higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Between 11 p.m. and 12 p.m. the risk was already twelve percent higher. However, regular bed rest before 10 p.m. was also associated with a 24 percent higher cardiovascular risk. Overall, women were at risk of going to bed significantly later than men.

Study author Plans said of the possible links: “Sleeping after 12:00 turned out to be the riskiest, probably because it blocks people from seeing the morning light. This is what controls the body’s internal clock.” Appropriate behavior is likely a cost-effective way to prevent cardiovascular disease (SDA).
