lack of sleep and its consequences

LESS SLEEP LEADS TO CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES: A study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found that a sleep deficit built up over just five nights could significantly stress the heart. Chronic sleep deprivations can stress the heart and raise the risk of cardiovascular disease. The neurological and behavioural effects of long term sleep loss have been well-documented which leads to lowered concentration and hand eye co-ordination to poor mood. The findings show that the shift workers are at higher risk for heart disease due to the fact that they get less sleep because of the disruption in their sleep-wake rhythms. This shows the importance of sleep. Sleep at night will be the actual sound sleep rather than sleeping in the day time.
So do watch your sleep pattern to get rid of heart related diseases. Take Care...
