Female Hypertension due to Lack of Sleep

Hypertensive Women

Bypassing the need for the usual quality sleeping hours among women may more or less be a prime cause for health risk problems. Hypertension and rising blood pressures are the leading contenders for providing health risks to the female species and if women are not careful, they may find themselves more at risk rather than being proactive and helpful.

“Sustained sleep curtailment, ensuing excessive daytime sleepiness and the higher cardiovascular risk are causes for concern,” study leader Francesco Cappuccio, of the University of Warwick’s Warwick Medical School, said in a statement. “Emerging evidence also suggests a potential role for sleep deprivation as a predictor or risk factor for conditions like obesity and diabetes.”
