Sleep more, feel better? pilot study tests sleep extension for heart failure patients

This small pilot study tested whether gradually extending sleep time, combined with good sleep habits, is possible and can improve quality of life in people with a type of heart failure called HFpEF. Ten adults with heart failure who slept less than 7 hours a night and had poor sleep efficiency took part. They used a wearable device and sleep diary to track their sleep. The goal was to see if this approach is feasible and might reduce inflammation and improve daily function.
