According to Shelby Harris, while the duration of sleep is crucial, the quality of that sleep is equally, if not more, important for maintaining heart health.
When it comes to maintaining heart health, it's not just how long you sleep — it's how well you sleep that matters equally, if not more, said Dr. Shelby Harris, a behavioral sleep psychologist and clinical associate professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.'Poor quality sleep really can influence our heart health as well,' Harris told 'CBS Mornings' in an interview during American Heart Month.
For those struggling to achieve a longer sleep duration, getting a good quality amount of sleep but shorter is ideal when you first are trying to tackle this goal. 'For some people, I might have them go to bed later and then I might slowly have them go to bed earlier over time as opposed to that shifting back and forth. Because that can create a lot of problems for people as well,' she said.
