5:05Now PlayingSleeping in on the weekends could be bad for your health. Grace Baldridge, John Iadarola, Kim Horcher, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you about the latest sleep study. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Social jet lag—the term for what happens to your body when you stay up late and sleep in on the weekends—may contribute to poor health, worse mood, and fatigue—even if you still get the "right" amount of sleep every night. A preliminary new study found that every hour sleep was shifted per week was associated with an 11 percent increased risk of heart disease.
The new findings were presented this week at the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, LLC—a joint venture between the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society. The full study has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed medical journal, but the authors say their findings seem to indicate the importance of sleep regularity on overall health.
To study the effect of altered weekend sleep patterns, researchers looked at survey responses from approximately 1,000 adults ages 22 to 60. To determine participants’ average amount of social jet lag, they subtracted weekday from weekend sleep midpoints—if a person reported sleeping from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. on weeknights (midpoint 3 a.m.) and from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. on weekends (midpoint 5 a.m.), for example, that’s a two-hour difference.”
