Sleep, mortality and beyond: A magician can't pull more from the hat than has been put in earlier
How are sleep and mortality associated? As a contribution to answering this general question, Liu et  al. explored the impact of shortened or prolonged sleep duration on mortality by meta-analysing 40 prospective cohort studies [1]. (Source: Sleep Medicine Reviews)

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 disruptions could be tested as another alternative measure in sleep research, which is valuable and feasible. However, we also hold some opposite opinions. (Source: Sleep Medicine Reviews)
