Just "sleep for another 5 minutes" when it's a holiday? Stay in bed for too long and beware of heart disease!
According to data released by the Ministry of Labor in 2019, Taiwan’s labor working hours ranked 4th among major countries in the world and 2nd in Asia, second only to Singapore. It can be said to be an internationally certified “overwork island.” After spending so long at work, many people start to “retaliately catch up on sleep” when holidays come, as if they are unwilling to sleep back from the exhaustion of the workday.
Of course, there are also people who are naturally not afraid of tiredness. They go to the bar to hang out on time after checking in on Friday, and then queue up at the door of the nightclub later. They have no intention of sleeping that night. No matter which of the above-mentioned sleeping methods is used, it is probably not good for your heart at all - American research has confirmed that people who sleep too much or too little are more likely to suffer from heart disease than those who sleep normally!

People who sleep six to seven hours a night have the lowest risk of dying from heart disease or stroke compared with those who sleep less or more, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 70th Annual Scientific Sessions of.
The person leading this research is American Henry. Kartik, a physician at Ford Hospital. Kartik Gupta and his team collected data from 1,079 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2005 to 2010 to determine whether they died from a heart attack, heart failure or stroke.
The researchers divided the subjects into three categories: those who slept 6 to 7 hours, those who slept less than 6-7 hours, and those who slept more than 7 hours, and assessed their atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Risk index and C-reactive protein (CRP) index, which is currently the most commonly used acute inflammation indicator. The higher the aforementioned two indices, the higher the risk of suffering from related diseases.
The results show that the median ASCVD index of the above three categories of people are 3.3%, 4.6% and 3.3% respectively. People who sleep less than 6-7 hours are at the highest risk, and because the sleep time is U-shaped, sleeping 6-7 hours is the highest risk. Those who sleep for more than 7 hours have a lower risk than those who sleep for more than 7 hours; and those who sleep for 6-7 hours also have the lowest CRP index.
