There is growing awareness of the risks of inadequate sleep for heart health, even though it is already well established that variables, including a poor diet, little exercise, and smoking, can affect the heart. Hypertensive heart disease is brought on by persistently high blood pressure (greater than 120/80 mmHg).

The exact mechanisms behind this link are complex, but it’s believed that the combination of lifestyle factors associated with depression (such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking) and the physiological effects of depression on the body (including inflammation and blood clotting) can contribute to heart problems.

Sleep deprivation or poor sleep can lead to an increased risk of developing conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias). Sleep deprivation is linked to an increase in factors such as obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure, all of which significantly contribute to heart disease.
