What many healthy people and heart patients do not know is that getting enough sleep every day is one of the vital things that reduce the risk of heart disease.
Many scientific studies have proven that sleep hours should not be less than 6 hours a day, which is the minimum amount of sleep per night that a person needs to keep his heart healthy.
Lack of sleep hours at night with insomnia and frequent awakenings may affect the involuntary nervous system, which in turn affects the increase in heart rate and blood pressure, as waking up frequently during the night increases stress on the heart muscle and causes irregular heartbeats and increases the risk of atherosclerosis.
