Researchers from Wenzhou Medical University have found a link between normal sleep patterns and healthy aging.

The experts shared their findings in a scientific paper for the journal BMC Public Health .

They formulated them after a study that lasted 9 years and involved more than 3.3 thousand people.

People who often did not get enough sleep or did not have a clear schedule were more likely to experience various diseases in old age.

Scientists have come to a clear conclusion about the importance of a stable sleep pattern.

This rule ensures healthier aging and reduces the likelihood of developing diseases that people often face in old age.

Experts note that on average, a person should sleep at least 8 hours a day. There is no universal norm, but this number is a kind of conditional standard that suits most people.
