This is the best bedtime to avoid heart disease

The time you go to bed may have something to do with your risk for heart disease. In fact, researchers say, there is a heart health sweet spot for falling asleep: from 10 to 11 p.m.

The body has a 24-hour    1    clock that helps regulate physical and mental functioning. “Our study suggests that early or late bedtimes may be more likely to disturb the body clock, with    2    consequences for cardiovascular (心血管的) health,“ said Plans, who is a senior lecturer in the University of Exeter in the U. K.

To explore how different bedtimes might     3     heart health, Plans and colleagues at Huma, turned to UK Biobank, a biomedical database (数据库). UK Biobank    4     information about more than 500, 000 volunteers and provided information about their personal information, lifestyles and health. Their physical health records were also evaluated.

The researchers focused on 88,926 adults, average age 61, who wore devices that record data when a person moves on their    5     for seven days. With the devices data, the researchers     6    the times of sleep start and waking.

During an average follow-up period of 5.7 years, 3,172 of the people on the list (3.6 percent) experienced cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks or heart failure-happening was highest among people with sleep times at midnight or later and lowest among those who fell asleep from 10 to10: 59 p.m.

Even when a number of    7     were taken into account —including age, gender,   sleep duration, being an early bird or night owl, smoking status, blood pressure—falling asleep    8    at midnight or later was still linked to the highest increased risk of heart disease.

“The new study really strengthens what we know from a cardiovascular risk    9    opinion—sleep is a risk factor,” said Dr. Francoise Marvel, an assistant professor and co-director of the Johns Hopkins Digital Health Lab at Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore. “But there is a huge important gap to recognize: There is no evidence to suggest at this point that improving sleep will    10    reduce cardiovascular events, like heart attack.”
