However, prolonged exposure to stress can lead to persistently high levels of these hormones, contributing to increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and inflammation, all of which raise the risk of heart disease. People with anxiety often experience elevated heart rates and increased blood pressure.

The amount of calcium in the blood vessels (known as arterial calcification), a marker of subclinical atherosclerosis, is higher in people with a short sleep duration. Multiple studies find that the risk for high blood pressure (hypertension) is elevated in women with short sleep duration to a greater extent than it is in men.
