Sleep Quality Affecting Blood Pressure

Your health is link closely to your sleep pattern. Earlier studies showed that sleep disorders and low levels sleep may pose a greater risk of heart disease and obesity and may reduce life expectancy. Recent studies have found that it can cause high blood pressure.

Healthy sleep is during slow wave sleep, brain electrical activity slowed, as well as heart rate, adrenaline levels and blood pressure. Blood pressure fell by approximately 10 ml of mercury during deep sleep.

People who do not have the deep sleep every night may influence blood pressure during the day.

Any condition that disrupts your sleep at night, for example, strong snoring, sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome can shorten your slow-wave sleep can effect your health. Although you can have the effect of age: a decrease of deep sleep when you get older.

Studies show that being more physically and cognitive active can increase the amount of time you spend in deep sleep at night.

The only way to know you have a good sleep is you feel rested and alert in the morning and ready to go after seven to eight hours of sleep. If not it's time to see your doctor for health check-up.
