New Delhi . Chinese researchers found in a research that it is very important to get good sleep at night to live a healthy and long life.
The team from China's Wenzhou Medical University defined 'successful ageing' as the absence of major longterm diseases such as diabetes, cancer, chronic lung disease, heart disease and stroke, good mental health and no physical disability. Have done.
Research suggests maintaining stable and adequate sleep duration may promote healthy aging.
In a paper published in the journal BMC Public Health, the team said the findings underscore the critical importance of monitoring dynamic changes in sleep duration in middleaged and older adults.
In the research, the team analyzed 3,306 participants who were free from major chronic diseases in 2011 and were 60 years of age or older by 2020.
The team combined nighttime sleep and daytime naps to calculate total daily sleep hours in 2011, 2013 and 2015.
The researchers identified five different sleep durations including normalstable (26.1 percent of participants), longstable (26.7 percent), decreasing (7.3 percent), increasing (13.7 percent), and shortstable ( 26.2 percent) was included.
People with increased and shorter stable sleep showed significantly lower chances of successful aging. Decreased odds were also seen in decreased sleep patterns.
Overall, only 13.8 percent of people met the definition of successful aging by 2020.
The team found that regularly getting too little or too little sleep can hinder successful aging because it can affect physical and psychological health.

The team said in the research paper that good sleep is very important for good health. If there is less sleep or there is disturbance in the sleep pattern, then it is not only a sign of increasing age, but it also tells that our health is not good.
