Poor sleep quality linked to higher risks of depression and cardiovascular issues experts warn
Experts are urging people to stick to a regular sleep schedule as much as possible to lower their risk of chronic illnesses. Poor sleep quality and an erratic body clock can lead to depression and various heart issues.
In a another study, research indicated that insomnia and depression often occur together. Researchers concluded that having one condition heightens the risk of developing the other.Sleep loss may cause cognitive and mood changes, impair emotional regulation and stability, and alter neural processes, according to experts. They also suggest that a lack of sleep could trigger a stress response and increase inflammation levels in the body.
Kathleen Drinan, DO, a cardiologist at the University of Chicago Medicine, explained: "We think the lack of sleep increases heart disease risks by forcing our bodies to rely on the sympathetic nervous system, often referred to as the 'fight or flight' nervous system."
