Deviations from normal bedtimes are associated with short-term increases in resting heart rate

Abstract Despite proper sleep hygiene being critical to our health, guidelines for improving sleep habits often focus on only a single component, namely, sleep duration. Recent works, however, have brought to light the importance of another aspect of sleep: bedtime regularity, given its ties to cogn...
