An important new study that appears in the June 8, 2009 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine has found that middle-aged adults suffering from lack of sleep effects are at higher risk of developing high blood pressure. Hypertension contributes to 7 million deaths around the world each and every year. One third of American's are affected.
In this latest work, University of Chicago researchers collected data such as blood pressure readings as well as other clinical, demographic and health variables on study subjects.
Duration of sleep was measured using surveys and a special sensor on the wrist that kept track of rest and activity for the 578 participants, all of an average age of 40. In both 2000-2001 initial measurements were taken, then in 2005 and 2006 blood pressure, demographic and self reported sleep information were measured once again.
Of course, the Americans aren't alone in their devotion to round-the-clock living. Scandinavians stay up quite late as a way of dealing with their midnight sun. and many Northern European countries have more shift workers than the United States, and their citizens tend to their coffee and more of it than Americans.
But maybe you don't have a chronic sleep disorder. Perhaps you are just stressed out and your bedroom is too crowded and too hot, or your mattress too hard.
The study excluded subjects from the mix who were taking prescription medication for high BP. They also used statistics to account for factors that might affect high blood pressure, things like age, sex and race. They saw that black men had the higher blood pressures than either white men or women.
"Identifying a novel lifestyle risk factor for high blood pressure could lead to new interventions to prevent or reduce high blood pressure," Kristen L. Knutson's team wrote.
"Laboratory studies of short-term sleep deprivation have suggested potential mechanisms for a causal link between sleep loss and hypertension."
The good thing is, there is help on the market to take you into dreamland. Alteril is a safe and sound, natural, non-prescription sleep aid.
They have taken two-and-a-half decades of investigation inside the science of slumber and inserted them within a supplement that's going to ease the sleepless nights and mornings.
The team believes that sleep deprivation affects the stress response of the body and this can raise the risk of developing hypertension.

After being deprived of sleep, many people are ready to answer any question as long as they'll be allowed to sleep. With little or no sleep, people feel sick. Their bodies are sluggish and uncoordinated, and their minds feel mush.
Their one overriding thought is their desire for sleep and even the most defiant individual may become quiet compliant if he thinks his cooperation can help him get sleep sooner, but since you are not a prisoner in future articles I will do my best in helping you get to sleep and give you tips and suggestions on how to get rid of your sleep deprivation once and for all.
