Another myth is that sleep quality doesn't matter – yet evidence links poor sleep quality (e.g., from sleep apnea) with higher triglycerides. The fact is: good sleep hygiene (7–9 hours, consistent schedule) can support triglyceride reduction as part of a holistic approach, but it cannot replace a balanced diet and exercise. The evidence is mostly epidemiological; randomized controlled trials are limited. Thus, the strength for individual recommendations is moderate.
