Peoples who often sleep less than 5 hours in a day, especially if their age are over 30 years, they should take care of their blood pressure. Because based on the results of research by the American Heart Association showed that people aged over 30 years old and sleeping less than 5 hours per day have a risk of having high blood pressure is greater than peoples who sleep more than 5 hours per day.
This is because when we sleep, the heart work more lightweight and blood pressure becomes lower. Conversely, people who sleep in a moment of time will increase heart rate and blood pressure average during 24 hours. This condition causes the cardiovascular system work on high pressure than usual. When the cardiovascular system steadily working on higher pressure, the adaptation occurs by organs at the cardiovascular system so the risk occurrence of high blood pressure will increase
The factors that affect blood pressure such as body weight, eating patterns, sugar, alcohol and cigarettes are also very important to consider. Therefore, adequate sleep at night is important to our health care.
