Getting a good night's sleep reduces the risk of heart attack by 3%


London, July 7, 2021, Thursday

According to a research, people who get enough and good sleep are 3% less likely to have a heart attack. A healthy sleep pattern does not mean waking up in the morning for 6 to 8 hours, but you should not be drowsy or sleepy during the day. Heart failure kills more than 25 million people worldwide. Sleep problems in particular play an important role in increasing heart failure. The UK Biobank, which operated in the hospital from 2009 to 2010, selected 20,608 people aged 6 to 8 for the study last year. In which data on heart failure from April 1, 2017 was studied.

Researchers reported an average of 21 cases of heart failure over a 10-year period. The researchers analyzed each case as a whole based on sleep quality. New Orleans professor of epidemiology highlighted five factors that determine the score for healthy sleep. For sleep quality, sleep duration, insomnia, snoring and other features associated with sleep were taken into consideration. Sleep periods were divided into three types: short duration of less than 3 hours and long duration of 8 hours or more. Emphasis was placed on improving sleep patterns to reduce the likelihood of heart failure.

In addition, diabetes, high blood pressure, drug use, genetic variation, etc. were also considered. An in-depth study of all the factors found that 4% of those with good sleep patterns were less likely. Interestingly, those who wake up in the morning have an 8% lower risk of heart failure. Those who slept 6 to 8 hours had a 15 percent lower risk of heart failure. Those who did not have insomnia had a 15% lower risk and those who did not get enough sleep during the day had a 5% lower risk.
