90,000-person UK study finds weekend catch-up sleep may lower heart attack risk in sleep-deprived individuals.
A study involving over 90,000 individuals in the UK suggests that catching up on lost sleep at weekends, known as Weekend Catch-Up Sleep, may help prevent heart attacks. Researchers found that sleep-deprived individuals with the most compensatory sleep at weekends had a lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease, compared to those who didn't catch up on sleep. However, it's crucial to note that weekend sleep catch-up should not replace the importance of regular good sleep throughout the week.
