Longer daytime napping is associated with new-onset heart failure in older people
1. Disrupted nighttime sleep is associated with heart failure (HF).
A prospective study looked at the association between daytime napping and incident HF during follow up.

2. Participants who napped longer than 44.4 minutes (ie, the median daily napping duration) showed a 73% higher risk of developing incident heart failure than participants who napped <44.4 minutes.
3. Participants who napped >1.7 times/day showed a 120% increase in new onset HF compared with participants who napped <1.7 times/day.
These associations persisted after adjustment for covariates, including nighttime sleep, comorbidities, and cardiovascular disease/risk factors.

Daytime napping for >30 minutes increases the risk of atrial fibrillation
1. Some nap during daytime as a habit, whereas a few try to catch up on lost sleep at nights with some daytime napping.
However, there is some bad news for those napping >30 minutes during daytime.

2. In a recent study, compared to short daytime nappers(<30 min), those who snoozed for 30 minutes or more per day had a nearly doubled risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF).
Meanwhile, compared with short nappers; risk was not elevated in those who avoided #napping.

3. Further analysis was done based on the nap duration.
Compared with those who napped for more than 30 minutes per day, those who napped for less than 15 min had a 42% lower risk of developing atrial fibrillation; while those who napped for 15 to 30 min had a 56% reduced risk.

Lesser night #sleep and daytime #napping increases the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (#IBD)
1. 4,88,000 people aged 40-69 were followed up for 12 years. 1 in 200 (0.5%) were diagnosed to have IBD. 31% had Crohn's disease, 69% ulcerative colitis

2. Compared with participants with a sleep duration of 7 hours/day, those with a sleep duration of ≤5 hours/day had a higher risk of:
Inflammatory bowel disease: 36% higher
Crohn's disease: 53% higher
Ulcerative colitis: 29% higher
Inflammatory bowel disease: 36% higher
