Poor Sleep May Clog Your Arteries

A quick Google search reveals an avalanche of information and data detailing how detrimental sleep deprivation and sleep disorders like insomnia are to the body. In case you need more evidence of what poor sleep can do, continue reading.

A study involving mice showed that poor sleep may go as far as increasing the risk of developing clogged arteries, resulting in a possible stroke or heart attack. The study used mice that were genetically prone to plaque build up in the arteries. The mice were woken up every so often to have their sleep disrupted. Compared to the mice that slept soundly the entire time, the sleep-deprived mice showed greater amounts of plaque in the arteries and excess in immune cells.

While the results are limited to mice at this point, it may signal yet another reason why it is so essential for humans to get enough hours of sleep each night. Furthermore, it also serves as a reminder of why it’s just as important to reduce the amount of tossing and turning which disrupts the sleep cycle. With a Vispring or Hastens mattress, these handmade beds will accommodate to virtually any sleep position you prefer.
