The Claim
In a clinically based Hispanic/Latino adult cohort, self-reported sleep duration of 6 hours or less per night is associated with a 2.51-fold higher risk of all-cause mortality compared to 6–9 hours of sleep, independent of cardiovascular risk factors and obstructive sleep apnea severity.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
People in this group who say they sleep 6 hours or less each night are more than twice as likely to die from any cause compared to those who sleep 6 to 9 hours—even if they have heart problems or sleep apnea.

What the research says
1 studyThis study found that Hispanic/Latino adults who sleep 6 hours or less per night are about 2.5 times more likely to die from any cause than those who sleep 6–9 hours, even after accounting for heart disease and sleep apnea — just like the claim says.
