Do you sleep less than 6 hours? Attention to this serious illness

According to a Spanish study of 3974 men, two-thirds of whom

According to a Spanish study, men who sleep less than 6 hours a day are 27% more likely to suffer from atherosclerosis than those who sleep 7 to 8 hours.

Lack of hours of sleep causes accumulation of fat and cholesterol on the walls of the heart muscle and arteries, resulting in blood clotting.

According to the study conducted at the Carlos III Center for Cardiothoracic Research in Madrid, sleep deprivation should be considered as a factor in atherosclerosis, while one can count on it to improve the health of the heart. Sleep patterns are a way to reduce the risk to the heart.

The results of the study were published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology and relied on the participation of 3,974 men, two-thirds of whom were men, and the participants were not aware of their health status before school.

According to the Spanish agency "AVI", researchers found that the consumption of caffeine and alcohol altered the regularity of sleep and the depth of sleep, which had a negative impact on the health of the heart.

"Lack of sleep and rest during the night should be a risk factor for obstruction and narrowing of arteries," said Fernando Dominguez, a researcher at the Spanish National Center for Cardiovascular Research in Madrid.

The study, presented at the conference of the European Society of Cardiology in Munich, Germany, looked at nearly 4,000 healthy middle-aged adults wore a 7-in-7 size monitoring device to record quality and the quality of sleep.
