HealthWeekend lie-ins linked to lower risk of high blood pressure, study finds

A seven-year study of 40,727 adults in South Korea found that sleeping moderately longer at weekends after a sleep-deprived workweek was associated with a lower prevalence of hypertension. Catch-up sleep was linked to a 6 percent reduction in the odds overall, with the greatest benefit around one hour and 37 minutes, but excessive sleep could negate it. The findings have not yet been peer-reviewed.
