A significant new research project from the University of Pennsylvania monitored more than 50,000 adults in the US over a span of 15 years and discovered that individuals who typically get less than six hours of sleep each night face a 33 percent increased risk of a fatal heart attack. Long-term sleep deprivation elevates blood pressure, triggers inflammation, and disturbs blood sugar levels — which also heightens the chances of stroke, type 2 diabetes, and dementia. The American Heart Association now emphasizes that seven to nine hours of sleep is crucial for cardiovascular health. Here’s what every American should implement tonight.
