Can you provide accurate information about how sleep is linked with longevity, including stats and studies showing these stats, and then a detailed scientific explanation of exactly how this happens by increasing the risk of diseases? Here are my bullet points that need science detail and accurate stats: • Risk of poor sleep: Sleeping less than 7 hours a night raises your risk of early death by 24%. • Cancer link: Lack of quality sleep reduces natural killer (NK) cell activity by 70%, increasing cancer risk. • Heart health: Poor sleep raises cardiovascular risks, affecting blood pressure and arterial health. • Cognitive impact: Sleep disruption impairs the glymphatic system, preventing brain detoxification and increasing dementia risk. • Modern life effects: Even with 7+ hours, stress and modern lifestyle factors can ruin sleep quality—quality matters just as much as quantity.
