Seniors: if you sleep deeply, the pressure does not rise

Even at a certain age who can do very deep sleep, those who did not even wake you up a cannon, can rest assured for your blood pressure: a study by the University of California San Diego in the journal Hypertension, American Heart Association has shown that hypertension develops only when a miss is the deep sleep, while other factors such as age, race, weight, impaired breathing and sleep fragmentation or total duration does not have a significant influence on blood pressure.

It does not matter how LONG - How do you sleep to say that long, but with little sleep does not help the pressure, as well as continuing to have not waking up because the fans would go instead to have only a light sleeper. So far, the studies were focused on the influence they have on the sleep-disordered breathing and a few had focused on the so-called architecture morfeica: Californian research has been objectified by a control polysomnography sleep of 784 males, mean age 75.3 years studied for six years: the only variable that significantly affects the development of hypertension was the lack of slow-wave sleep, the deepest and most restorative in which dreams are formed. If the subjects were awakened selectively during deep sleep, their blood pressure tended to rise inevitably.

OBSTACLES - According to the study some features (listed below in descending order according to the importance detected) tend to impede the slow-wave sleep: 1) high age, 2) difficulty falling asleep, and 3) breathing problems, 4) awakenings night, 5) less total sleep time; 6) neck circumference; 7) Overweight

OLD AND YOUNG ENOUGH THAT IS DEEP - This study evaluated only male subjects, and will require further research to see if the same thing applies to women and younger males, but, as the authors say, it is likely that the positive effects of this type of sleep pressure triggers a general mechanism of regulation that affects the metabolism and activity of the sympathetic nervous system. However another study conducted by the summer of young students from the University Pennysilvania dell'Allegheny College and published in the International Journal of Behavioral Medicine has also shown that only those who fell into deep sleep could reap the benefits of a nap of 45 / 60 minutes which was granted to them during a stressful day at work in the laboratory: a better control of blood pressure and heart rate.

37% HOUR - With regard to the third study of forty adults published by the University of Chicago in Archives of Internal Medicine showed that the reduction of sleep in general causes, especially in males, increased activity of the nervous system controls the sympathetic response to stress and that activation contributes to an increase in blood pressure that rises by 37% per hour of sleep lost.
