Häusler N, et al. - Researchers, for the first time, studied the impact of nap frequency and average daily nap duration over a week on fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in a population-based cohort. For this investigation, 3,462 individuals with no prior history of CVD reported their nap frequency and daily nap duration over a week, and were followed over 5.3 years. According to findings, 155 fatal and non-fatal events occurred. Participants who nap once or twice a week were found to have a lower risk of incident CVD occurrences; however, there was no link identified between more frequent napping or nap duration. Furthermore, this reduced risk was not affected by obstructive sleep apnea or excessive daytime sleepiness. The researchers suggested that nap frequency may help to shed a light on the discrepant findings regarding the association of napping and CVD events.
