Professor Peter Sever from Imperial College London said: “More detailed studies of sleep duration and quality show that statins reduced the number of times people woke and the time they spent awake during the night, compared with a placebo.
“This comes from a review of five studies published in Archives of Medical Science in 2015.
“The studies looked at three different statins: pravastatin, lovastatin and simvastatin.
“Another Lancet study from 2018, in which I was also involved, of 10,000 patients taking a statin (atorvastatin) or placebo, showed significantly less sleep disturbance in those taking the statin.”
