Insomnia tied to greater risk of heart attack- Lack of Sleep Increases the Risk of Heart Attack, Especially in Women: Study

 According to a recent study published in Clinical Cardiology, women are 40% more likely to experience sleep deprivation and are at a higher risk of heart attack due to lack of sleep. The study, which involved more than 1.2 million participants from different countries, also found that individuals who slept less than 5 hours per night had an increased risk of heart attack.

According to a study published in Clinical Cardiology, lack of sleep can increase the risk of heart attack, especially in women. The study involved more than 1.2 million participants from the United States, United Kingdom, Norway, Germany, Taiwan, and China, and found that chronic insomnia is the most common sleep disorder in the US, affecting 10 to 30% of the population.

The study also revealed that women are 40% more likely to experience sleep deprivation than men, which puts them at a higher risk of a heart attack. Insomnia was reported in 13% of the participants surveyed, some of whom were diagnosed with regular insomnia, while others had symptoms such as difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.

The researchers found that individuals who slept less than 5 hours per night had a 1.38 and 1.56 increased risk of heart attack compared to those who slept 6 to 8 hours, respectively. These findings suggest that getting enough sleep is essential for maintaining good heart health, and those who work all day and have irregular sleep patterns are at an increased risk of a heart attack.

In conclusion, lack of sleep can have serious implications for heart health, and women are particularly vulnerable. To reduce the risk of heart attack, it is crucial to prioritize sleep and develop healthy sleep habits. These may include going to bed at the same time each night, avoiding caffeine and alcohol before bedtime, and creating a relaxing sleep environment.
