Abstract Background Individual unhealthy sleep behaviours have been associated with increased risks of all‐cause mortality and deaths due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) or cancer. The evidence regarding the association patterns these is limited. Objective To examine associations all‐cause, CVD cancer in a large prospective cohort. Methods This cohort study included 283,443 adults from UK Biobank without at baseline. We created healthy score combining five individual behaviours. Results During mean (standard deviation) 8.9 (1.1) years (2.5 million person‐years) follow up, total 7936 deaths, 762 CVD‐caused 4540 cancer‐caused occurred during up. One point increase was 4–11% lower risk (Hazard Ratio [HR], 0.94; 95% CI, 0.92–0.96), (HR, 0.89; 0.83–0.95) 0.96; 0.93–0.99), adjustment for age, sex, assessment centres, smoking status, alcohol intake socioeconomic status physical activity. Compared participants an unfavourable pattern, those favourable pattern had 24–42% mortality. tended be stronger among underweight insufficient Conclusions A Our findings highlight importance improving overall lowering
