Seven or more hours' sleep a night boosts the benefits to the heart of a healthy lifestyle, research suggests.
According to a large study, traditional advice on exercise, diet, drinking and smoking reduced deaths from heart disease or stroke, but even more lives were saved by also having enough sleep.
Advice on getting enough sleep could have a substantial impact on public health, say European researchers.
In theory, many heart and stroke deaths could be prevented or postponed.
A team in the Netherlands tracked heart disease and strokes in more than 14,000 men and women for more than a decade.
By the end of the study, about 600 individuals had suffered heart disease or stroke, and 129 died.
The study found that deaths were less likely in people who followed all four positive lifestyle recommendations - taking exercise, eating a healthy diet, drinking alcohol in moderation, and not smoking.
