TL;DR
Short sleep over a prolonged period may be associated with an increased risk of mortality: men and women who reported sleeping fewer than 7 h in 24 on two occasions between 4 and 7 years apart, had greater risk of dying from any cause over a 25 year period.
Abstract
Short sleep over a prolonged period may be associated with an increased risk of mortality: men and women who reported sleeping fewer than 7 h in 24 on two occasions between 4 and 7 years apart, had greater risk of dying from any cause over a 25 year period than those who reported sleeping 7-8 h on both occasions that they were questioned.

Sleep debt has a harmful impact on carbohydrate metabolism and endocrine function similar to those seen in normal ageing and, therefore, sleep debt may increase the severity of age-related chronic disorders.

There has been a consistent inverse relation between cardiovascular disease, primarily coronary heart disease, and many of the indicators of SES, and evidence for this relation has been derived from prevalence, prospective, and retrospective cohort studies.

686 Citations1998George Davey Smith, Carole Hart +6 more
The stronger association of education with death from cardiovascular causes than with other causes of death may reflect the function of education as an index of socioeconomic circumstances in early life, which appear to have a particular influence on the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Results do not prove that mortality could be reduced by altering sleep durations or by reducing hypnotic prescribing, but studies are needed to determine the causes of these mortality risk factors.

Self-reported stress is related to health-related behaviours and to physiological CHD risk factors, and the direction of the association with physiological risk was often contrary to expectation and appeared to be largely due to confounding by socio-economic position.
