People who suffer prolonged sleep deprivation are more at risk from a stroke and heart disease.
A report from the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom has indicated, that if an individual sleeps less than six hours per night and have disturbed sleep, you stand a 48% greater chance of developing or dying from heart disease and a 15% greater chance of developing or dying from a stroke.
The trend for late nights and early mornings is actually a ticking time bomb for our health..
This revelation has been taken from evidence gleaned from tests varying from 7 years to 25 years carried out on over 470,000 participants across 8 countries including Japan,United States,United Kingdom and Sweden.
Chronic short sleep produces hormones and chemicals in the body, which increases the risk of developing heart disease and strokes, plus other conditions such as high blood pressure and cholesterol, diabetes and obesity.
Unfortunately there is an expectation in today's society to fit more into our lives.
The whole work/life balance struggle is causing too many of us to trade in precious sleeping time to ensure we complete all the jobs we believe are expected of us.
