Sleep saves lives

Interesting article looking at nightly sleep and coronary calcification. Pretty scary. Here is the abstract and a notable chart. They used actigraphy (wrist devices) to measure sleep and found a big difference, as many trials have, between self reported sleep and measured sleep. Sleep one extra hour a night and drop your coronary calcium by 33% (obviously this is a statistical finding and not an intervention study, still striking).
