Seven in ten heart attacks and strokes 'could be prevented with better sleep'
The results have led scientists to call for better sleep education.
Dr Aboubakari Nambiema, of the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research, said: “Greater awareness is needed on the importance of good sleep for maintaining a healthy heart.” Prof James Leiper, of the British Heart Foundation, said: “A good night’s sleep allows your body to rest, which relaxes your blood vessels, reducing blood pressure.
“But there are other ways that poor sleep could be increasing the risk of heart disease or stroke, including by increasing inflammation and affecting the area of the brain that controls stress hormone levels.”
