Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Exercise even after short sleep to help reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity.
- Aim for at least 7 to 9 hours of sleep nightly to reduce all-cause mortality.
- If sleep is short, maintain regular exercise to partially offset negative health effects like insulin resistance and inflammation.
Notable Quotes
“If people were exercising within the guideline range that they basically weren’t getting enough sleep, they had the same mortality rate as people that were getting enough sleep.”
Bottom Line
Prioritize both sleep and exercise; even on short sleep days, exercising can mitigate some of the health risks associated with poor sleep.
