Irregular sleep could put you in the danger zone for heart disease: study
Fox News
Those who go to bed and wake up at different times or have disrupted sleep could face a higher risk of heart disease, according to a new study from the American Heart Association.
For a seven-day period, participants kept a sleep diary and wore a special wristwatch that tracked their sleep quality by measuring movements and oxygen levels. Disruptions to the sleep cycle can lead to increased inflammation and higher blood pressure. "This study also showed there was an increase of plaque buildup in the extremities." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
Those who had irregular sleep patterns — including differences in the times they went to bed and interruptions in their sleep throughout the night — were more likely to show signs of atherosclerosis.
