In the life of each person great importance is proper nutrition, a healthy lifestyle and of course a long, good sleep. It has been proved by British scientists that life expectancy directly depends on our night sleep. For 10 years, scientists have observed 60,000 volunteers aged 18 to 88 years and found that heart failure depends on the duration and quality of sleep in general. Those people who did not sleep well at night, often woke up, had a nervous condition, they were diagnosed with insufficiency, fatigue and dyspnea.
The category of people suffering from obesity also fell into the risk zone, and smokers all had a deterioration in heart health. Excess weight negatively affects the blood vessels and heart, increases cholesterol, promotes the formation of plaques, thromboses, which subsequently leads to improper operation of the main motor of the body. It is remarkable, all in combination with insomnia all this led to a tragic end.
Experts have proved that the violation or absence of sleep causes heart failure. This is a problem that needs to be addressed, to look for and cure. It is noted that dangerous mechanisms are triggered in the body due to lack of sleep. Hormones of stress caused by insomnia, negatively affect the heart system, creating a danger to human life. There is a whole chain of links with one another. And this chain man needs to break. Starting with the most basic, with the causes of insomnia.
Diseases such as, depression, poor brain function, diabetes can be the cause of lack or poor sleep.
With any kind of depression, the psyche is oppressed, which causes chronic lack of sleep. The stages of superficial sleep predominate, night awakenings are more frequent, a person can not sleep for a long time. The morning awakening comes earlier than in the normal state. Any experiences impose an imprint on the human psyche and on its falling asleep and health. It is necessary to learn how to filter out unnecessary information, and to perceive problems is not so literally. After all, the dream depends on it and how the heart and the whole system worked out as a whole.
In predisposed individuals to diabetes, intermittent sleep. A person often falls asleep with difficulty, and wakes up early. Absence of proper proper rest leads to the above consequences. It must be remembered that this disease has a relationship with the violation of the usual rest. Unbalanced metabolism in sick people leads to disruption of night rest and to a change in the produced insulin. Failure of the heart system and falling asleep has a connection with this disease.
Night rest is very important for the functions of the human body. Rhythms in the brain affect its functioning. If there are deviations in these indicators, then the brain activity is disrupted, which leads to many changes in particular night sleep. Failures in the system affect the production of such a hormone, which is responsible for the dream. The activity of hormone production falls on this period: from 23 pm, and the peak of its concentration comes after midnight to 3 am. Therefore it is so important to sleep in this period. The main hormonal function is the regulation of the circadian rhythm of the body. And we can fall asleep and wake up, feeling like healthy people.
Everyone has the right to take care of their health, to fight against such diseases as diabetes, poor brain work and, of course, depression, should not forget about the importance of its main cardiac system, the cause of the malfunction leading to improper functioning of the heart. Remember that, a quality and healthy sleep, a guarantee of an uninterrupted system of the heart.
