TL;DR
The effectiveness of psychosocial interventions to improve sleep on reducing these health outcomes in general community settings is examined and a linear association between a statistically significant increase in mortality and sleep duration at less than six hours is found.
Abstract
Based on our findings, future studies should examine the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions to improve sleep on reducing these health outcomes in general community settings.
