NEW YORK, May 12 ― New US research has found that getting too little or too much sleep could have a negative impact on asthma among adults suffering with the condition. The researchers found that 25.9 per cent of participants were “short” sleepers and reported only getting five hours of sleep or less per night; 65.9 per cent were “normal” sleepers and got six to eight hours per night; and 8.2 per cent were defined as “long” sleepers and slept for nine or more hours every night. They also found that short sleepers were more likely to be younger and non-White, while long sleepers were more likely to be older, female and a smoker.
Long sleepers were also more likely to need to limit their activities due to wheezing, compared to normal sleepers, although no other significant differences were found between the two groups.
