Reply to “Sleep, mortality and beyond: A magician can't pull more from the hat than has been put in earlier”

Thanks to Erren et  al. for their complements on our work on sleep duration and risk of all-cause mortality [1]. The proposed concept “sleep-year-index” by Erren et al. [2] probably makes sense when establishing the relationship between sleep and diseases. And we agree with their view that accumulated sleep disr uptions could be tested as another alternative measure in sleep research, which is valuable and feasible. However, we also hold some opposite opinions.
