Vacation sleep vs weekly sleep deficiency
A recent study suggests that compensating for a lack of sleep during weekends with extra hours of rest can reduce the risk of high blood pressure, especially among individuals who are physically inactive. Increased sleep was associated with an approximate 9% reduction in the likelihood of developing hypertension. The findings showed that an additional sleep of about one hour and 26 minutes promotes heart health and allows the cardiovascular system to recover better, based on data from 41,000 adults in Korea. Although researchers caution that the relationship is not directly causal, getting enough sleep daily remains the best approach for heart health, and one should not rely solely on catching up on sleep during weekends.
