The absence or lack of deep sleep can be one of the possible reasons why people start to suffer from high blood pressure. According to the results of a comprehensive study that analyzed the health status of elderly men, it was found that those of the subjects with the lowest phase of deep sleep were the least, 80% were more likely to develop elevated blood pressure than subjects whose sleep was less intermittent , As the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net Researchers for more than three years followed the status of a control group consisting of 800 elderly men aged 65 years. These people led a normal lifestyle, and at night specialists recorded the indicators of their sleep state. In parallel, the researchers regularly measured their blood pressure, which resulted in some adjustments to the traditional vision of the relationship that exists between sleep and blood pressure.

Recall, for a long time it was believed that the problem with the pressure will have a person who sleeps a day less than 6 hours. If a person is forced to wake up at night, for example, because of apnea, various diseases and for other reasons, it will also have a negative effect on blood pressure. It is at the stage of deep sleep that the body restores its energy reserves - blood pressure goes down, breathing slows down, and heart rate is also equal.

However, if deep sleep is not enough, your blood pressure will not be at a reduced level enough time to completely restore the body, which can lead to damage to the blood vessels. Also, the lack of deep sleep adversely affects the work of those parts of the brain that are responsible for the production of hormones and substances that help maintain a normal level of blood pressure.

"A person may not even know that there is something missing in his night's sleep, so if your wife tells you that you are tossing very hard in your sleep, that you snore loudly, while you yourself are prone to increase Pressure during the day - all this is an occasion to turn to a specialist and get expert advice.

If you really have problems with sleep, you will first need to ask the doctor - whether among the medications that he prescribed to you those that adversely affect night sleep. You also need to pay attention to the physical and psychological stresses that you encounter during the day, as they too can contribute to this problem. "- notes Dr. Susan Redline (Susan Redline), one of the authors of the study. "Let's not forget that high blood pressure is called a silent killer - it seriously increases the risk of a person having many different diseases, including heart disease," she adds..
