Getting extra sleep on weekends may reduce the risk of heart disease by as much as 20%.
This effect is especially strong for people who routinely get too little sleep during the workweek.
According to a study presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress, individuals who made up for lost sleep on weekends had significantly better heart health outcomes.
Those who slept the least overall showed the highest risk of heart disease.
These findings suggest that compensatory weekend rest can offer meaningful protection for the heart.
