Research by scientists
As part of the research, scientists analysed data on the well-being of more than 90,000 Britons.
The information was collected over the past 14 years.
Of the total number of volunteers, about 22% slept less than 7 hours a day.
The others also had a sleep deficit, but it was less pronounced.
Conclusions of scientists
As a result, the researchers came to the conclusion that if you sleep just 1 hour and 15 minutes more on weekends, then this harmless habit will reduce the risk of developing heart disease by 19%.
Scientists warn that the habit of sleeping in on weekends and not getting enough sleep on weekdays will not make anyone healthier.
