Sleep wakeups

Undisturbed sleep significantly improves life expectancy.

• Frequent awakenings during sleep are linked to a 30% higher mortality risk, potentially reducing life expectancy by 2 years. Occasional awakenings increase mortality risk by 15-20%, resulting in about 1 year lost.
• Rare awakenings have no significant impact on life expectancy.
• Those who never wake during sleep have the lowest mortality risk, potentially increasing life expectancy by 1 year.
• Sleep disruptions adversely affect cardiovascular, metabolic, and cognitive health. Maintaining consistent sleep patterns and minimizing disruptions is essential for reducing mortality risk and enhancing overall health.
