According to an analysis by the National Sleep Foundation in Mexico, individuals who go to bed after midnight have a 12% higher risk of cardiovascular disease compared to those who go to bed at 10 p.m.
Experts suggest that adults should go to bed between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. to achieve the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep. This timeframe minimizes the risk of health problems.
