High Blood Pressure and Sleep Disorders - A Synopsis of Recent Studies
by: Elle VanHamagansky
It's 3:30am. You're awake. You're mentally and physically exhausted, but you can't go to sleep. Does this sound familiar? How many sheep have you counted at night? How many times have you counted the ceiling tiles in your bedroom? You can't sleep or you have trouble getting to sleep but you don't know why. Well, the easiest answer is high blood pressure. High blood pressure is actually linked to sleeping disorders. Why?
Recent studies show sleeping allows the heart to slow down and blood pressure to drop significantly. Depriving the body of its necessary sleep will cause blood pressure to rise.
Many situations in life can cause sleep disorders such as:

- Smoking or chewing tobacco
- Sporadic work schedules
- Stress
- Traveling between time zones
- Use of certain medications
Recent studies show that people who sleep less than six hours per night have more than double the risk for high blood pressure that people who sleep more than six hours per night.
Many situations can cause high blood pressure such as:
- Drinking alcohol
