Claims supported
- Sleep duration is associated with all-cause mortality in a U-shaped pattern in prospective cohort meta-analysis, with both short and long sleep linked to higher mortality risk versus roughly 7 hours, but causality is not proven.
- Improving sleep duration, quality, or regularity is a plausible health intervention, but direct evidence that consumer sleep improvement lowers all-cause mortality remains under-proven.
