In a community cohort, suboptimal 5‑year sleep duration trajectories were associated with up to 29% higher mortality risk.
Longitudinal tracking how timing of light, sleep, meals, and schedules tracked with sleep & alertness and mortality for night‑shift workers and night owls. Overall, the data make the schedule itself visible in physiology, not just in how people feel subjectively. For the audience living on night schedules, the key meaning is that the schedule’s timing choices show up in measurable outcomes.
