Impact of Insomnia on Heart Health

Insomnia increases the risk of heart disease in people who have the following conditions. • High blood pressure (hypertension): Blood pressure drops during normal sleep hours. On the other hand, if you are staying asleep for longer hours, your blood pressure stays higher for a higher amount of time. High blood pressure is one of the greatest risk factors for heart disease and stroke. • Type 2 diabetes: Diabetes is a disease that affects how the body metabolizes glucose (sugar). This disease is very deadly as it can damage the blood vessels. High blood pressure narrows down the vessels and thereby increases the pressure in them. Studies show that getting sufficient high-quality sleep may help improve blood sugar levels. • Obesity: Lack of sleep is associated with weight gain as it may affect the part of the brain that controls hunger.
