Show notes

Do you find yourself tossing and turning at night, unable to achieve that sweet slumber you desperately crave? You're not alone. In our fast-paced modern world, chronic insomnia and sleep disturbances are all too common, with about a third of adults regularly struggling to sleep. The culprits?

Everything from work stress to hefty schedules that often lead to insomnia, abbreviated sleep times, and groggy mornings. Consequently, an increasing number of people are turning to sleeping pills, hoping to usher in sleep, maintain it, or simply improve its quality. But what impact do these habits have on our life expectancy and mortality rates? That's exactly what we're delving into today.

This episode explores the intriguing relationship between sleep duration, sleeping pill use, and life expectancy among adults, with a special focus on findings from a study in Taiwan. I have linked the study below.
