Top 4 in Top 10 Reasons to Get More Sleep
Your risk of getting heart disease may rise if you have poor quality or insufficient sleep. Sleeping for fewer than 7 hours a day raised the chance of dying from heart disease by 13%, according to one review of 19 studies.
Another study discovered that, in comparison to 7 hours of sleep, each hour less was linked to a 6% higher risk of heart disease and all-cause death. Short sleep duration is thought to raise the risk of high blood pressure, particularly in people who have obstructive sleep apnea, a disorder that causes breathing pauses while you sleep. In fact, compared to those who slept for 7 hours each night, those who slept for less than 5 hours had a 61% increased chance of having high blood pressure.
