Weekend lie-ins could be beneficial for our health, according to a study published in the Journal of Sleep Research. Not getting enough sleep could increase our risk of death, but lie-ins could counter the effect of short sleeps during the week, and this ‘catch up’ sleep could reduce the risk of early mortality. Considering this, we share our top three articles on sleep and circadian rhythms, and our usual top three articles for the month and our Hidden Jewels.
