A groundbreaking new study led by researchers at Uppsala University finds that sleeping just four hours per night for three consecutive nights—something many young people and shift workers might dismiss as “a rough week”—can measurably increase biological markers known to signal future heart disease risk. Alarmingly, this effect appeared in healthy young men after only short-term sleep deprivation—raising important health questions for Thais in an era where late nights and round-the-clock connectivity have become normal, especially in vibrant cities like Bangkok.
