Sleep may negatively impact bone health. A new study suggests that short sleep duration can put women at risk of low bone mineral density and osteoporosis. However, sleeping for 7 or more hours per night improves physical and mental health.

‘Sleep may negatively impact bone health. A new study suggests that short sleep duration can put women at risk of low bone mineral density and osteoporosis.’
In the study of 11,084 postmenopausal women, those who reported sleeping 5 hours or less per night had lower BMD at all four sites assessed--whole body, total hip, neck, and spine--compared with women who reported sleeping 7 hours per night. After adjustments, women reporting 5 hours or less per night had 22% and 63% higher risks of experiencing low bone mass and osteoporosis of the hip, respectively.
Similar results were seen with the spine.
