London-Sana

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – A recent study suggests that lack of sleep can damage DNA and reduce its ability to repair itself, resulting in permanent hereditary diseases as well as a risk of cancer.

According to the study published by the British Daily Mail, doctors are particularly interested in people who have to change their sleep habits because of nighttime schedules.

The recommended sleep is usually 7 hours a night, but the numbers indicate that adults regularly miss one or two hours of the necessary hours.

The researchers said that after 3 days of restful sleep, they took blood samples from all those searched, then in the morning, after a night shift while they were sleep deprived. The results showed that those who worked at night had more periods A 30% reduction in DNA compared to those who did not and DNA damage increased by 25% after a night of sleep deprivation.

DNA repair was also lower in people who did not sleep well, which could lead to cell death and increased risk of cancer.

According to CDC data, more than 40 million people suffer from long-term sleep disorders in the United States.
