Adequate sleep is also very important for good health, but if your night sleep gets interrupted again and again, do not consider it a common problem. According to a new research published in the National Library of Medicine, frequent sleep disturbances at night can have a serious impact on heart health. If this problem persists for a long time, the risk of many dangerous diseases increases. According to research, it is necessary for every person to get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep at night.
According to a study published in the National Library of Medicine, people who have frequent sleep disturbances are at risk of blood pressure. Sleep Due to rupture, the body does not get a chance to completely repair itself, which affects heart functioning. Research also revealed that frequent sleep loss can affect the brain.
Why is sleep loss dangerous for the heart?
During deep sleep at night, the heart gets rest and blood pressure remains at normal level, but when sleep is interrupted again and again, the pressure on the heart increases. This can cause inflammation, which later increases the risk of heart attack. People who complain of insomnia 23 times every day, the risk of heart disease increases by 30 percent.
Dr. Ajit Jain, Associate Professor in the Department of Cardiology at Rajiv Gandhi Hospital, says that if sleep is being interrupted several times at night, it means that the brain is more active even after sleeping. A big reason for this is that you think too much or are mentally stressed about anything. If there is mental stress then obviously it affects the heart also. Because one cause of heart attack is mental stress. In such a situation, it is important that you take care of your health and if you have the problem of frequent sleep disturbances at night, then definitely consult a doctor. Especially some people need to be more careful.
