The Impact Of Sleep On Heart Health

Sleep plays a vital role in our mental and physical health. In honor of Heart Month, we wanted to take a closer look at the impact of sleep on heart health. Since we are sleep professionals and not medical professionals, we’ll be sharing some statistics from reputable sources to help illustrate the importance of sleep on heart health.

Heart failure has been one of the top causes of death worldwide for the past 20 years.

Healthy Sleep Patterns

According to The American Heart Association, “Adults with the healthiest sleep patterns had a 42% lower risk of heart failure regardless of other risk factors compared to adults with unhealthy sleep patterns”.

We can help you get the percentages in your favor! One of our most popular brands, Essentia, has been shown to increase REM sleep by 20%. That is a huge percentage that will undoubtedly maximize the health benefits of your sleep pattern.

The Risk Of Short Sleep Duration

The American Heart Association also states that “Middle-aged adults with high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease or stroke could be at high risk for cancer and early death when sleeping less than six hours per day”. This was found according to research published in the Journal Of The American Heart Association.

We are confident that we can help you increase the hours of quality sleep you get every single night. Being in the business of sleep since 1992, we have learned that everyone is different, and we provide solutions for any kind of sleeper.

Sleep Apnea Risk Factor

According to Johns Hopkins “Sleep apnea is often linked to heart disease and metabolic issues like diabetes.”

Many of our customers with sleep disorders or other health concerns benefit from an adjustable base. Being able to elevate the head and feet at the touch of a button, can provide relief for many symptoms.

Hypertension

According to the Sleep Foundation, “During normal, healthy sleep, blood pressure drops by around 10-20%5. Poor sleep, whether from a lack of sleep or sleep disruptions, is associated with non-dipping, meaning that a person’s blood pressure doesn’t go down at night. Studies have found that elevated nighttime blood pressure is tied to overall hypertension (high blood pressure).”
