Planes flying by and landing at certain times of the day can be a big problem especially if you live nearby an airport. For sure, it is already a given that you will have a hard time sleeping and adjusting to the noise that these air crafts produce. But while not being able to sleep is already an issue, it may escalate as far as affecting our blood pressure levels due to the lack of sleep.
As we can see, there is more to meets the eye when you talk about losing sleep. But when you talk about health problems coming into the picture, you have to take it to another level and try to analyze and determine how your health can manage all the stress and lack of sleep from it all.
“We know that noise from air traffic can be a source of irritation, but our research shows that it can also be damaging for people’s health, which is particularly significant in light of plans to expand international airports,” co-author Dr. Lars Jarup, from the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at Imperial College London, said in a prepared statement.
