A common sleep habit has been linked to potential health risks, with some reports suggesting it could double the risk of heart attack. However, the relationship between this sleep habit and health outcomes is not entirely clear, as some outlets suggest it may also increase the risk of dementia, while others indicate that certain habits may actually reduce heart risks or that there may be a fix for the associated problems. The impact of sleep habits on overall health, including heart health and mortality risk, appears to be a topic of ongoing study and discussion.
