After a long, stressful workweek, sleeping in on a Saturday is one of the most enjoyable ways to relax and recover. You may have heard or read, however, that sleeping in on the weekend is not good for you…or is it? According to a recent Washington Post article, sleeping in may save your life.
A study published in the Journal of Sleep Research tracked the sleeping habits on weekdays and weekends of more than 30,000 participants over thirteen years. The study found that those who slept for five hours or less each night throughout the entire week did not live as long as those that slept for at least seven hours every night. The surprising part? Those who slept fewer than seven hours consistently but slept in for an additional hour or two during the weekends also had a better life expectancy as the people who always slept for seven hours each day.
The study still requires additional research, but it may give you a reason to sleep in on a Saturday. If you’re having trouble staying asleep, it could be that your mattress is keeping you up at night. Considering how important it is to get a good night’s sleep, a Hästens or Vi-Spring mattress might just the thing to help you live longer.
