A remarkable Nature study of ~500,000 UK Biobank participants demonstrated a striking U-shaped relationship between sleep duration and biological ageing across 23 ageing clocks, 17 organs, and 3 omics platforms. \ud83c\udf19\ud83e\uddec Both short (&amp;lt;6 h) and long (&amp;gt;8 h) sleep were associated with accelerated ageing, higher systemic disease burden, and increased all-cause mortality.
