Late bedtimes linked to increased risk of angina ;finds study
Sleep loss is a common condition in developed countries, with evidence showing that people in Western countries are sleeping on average only 6.8 hour (hr) per night, 1.5 hr less than a century ago. Previous studies have established that although the effects of sleep deprivation on our organs have been obscure, recent epidemiological studies have revealed relationships between sleep deprivation and hypertension (HT), coronary heart disease (CHD), and diabetes mellitus (DM). Further,Sleep timing is related to several risk factors for angina pectoris (AP), such as obesity and diabetes.
A recent study has highlighted that later bedtimes on both weekdays and weekends were significantly associated with an increased prevalence of angina pectoris. On the contrary, the research team also highlighted that early bedtimes may help people decrease the risk of AP.The findings have been put forth in Sleep Medicine.
The current study was designed to evaluate the relationship between sleep timing and AP, specifically whether later bedtime was associated with AP in middle-aged and older adults.
