Such "intima-media thickness" (IMT) is considered to be a significant marker for heart disease. What's more, the link between sleep and IMT seems to be gender-based, applying solely to men.
The study team, led by Megan R. Sands of Brown University in Providence, R.I., is slated to present its findings Tuesday at
