Benefits of Good Night Sleep
The study led by researchers from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China showed an association between a healthy sleep pattern and a decreased risk of cirrhosis among NAFLD patients. The study on 112,196 NAFLD patients found that poor sleep patterns were associated with an increased risk of progression to cirrhosis. The benefits of good sleep were observed in participants, regardless of low or high genetic risk, according to the journal Hepatology International. The study provides “more evidence that sleep is really underrated,” said Dr Abby Phillips, popularly known as LiverDoc, on social media platform X.“You can’t change your genetic profile and neither can everyone check their genetic profile. But what can be done is get some good sleep every night,” he advised. The human body requires an optimum sleep duration of 7-8 hours per night."
Poor sleep is also known to be harmful to health and can lead to problems with memory and focus. It can also raise the risk of headaches, anxiety, and stress. Another recent study, published in the journal Sleep shows that sleeping late may also raise the risk of early-onset type 2 diabetes.
