Confirmed: sleeping well gives you life

We all love to sleep, but how many times do we sleep well? With the pace of life we lead and an unoptimistic socio-economic context, sleeping well is becoming less and less common and, as many already imagine, it is something that directly affects our lives and our day-to-day, especially actions that require a lot of mental effort, like studying.

Now, a recent study has found a strong link between increased life expectancy and consistent quality sleep. Researchers examined data provided by 172,321 participants in the United States National Health Survey between 2013 and 2018, and then compared the information with the country’s National Death Index until December 2019.

According to the collected data, participants who consistently slept well had higher chances of living longer than those who struggled to sleep between seven and eight hours (taking into account other factors that may affect life expectancy). Researchers predict that sleeping well could increase life expectancy by 4.7 years in men and 2.4 years in women.

Although the factors that determine quality sleep are very varied, always remember to sleep at least 7 hours a day and avoid using electronic devices before going to bed (books are always a great alternative to fall asleep).
