Sleep Disorders and Heart Disease

March 10, 2018
BstarGroup.jpgRisk of heart disease, studies have shown to be possible higher for Cumming/Gainesville seniors who do not maintain healthy sleeping patterns, versus seniors that do.



The two main sleep disorders that are studied are insomnia and sleep apnea, which has to do with a person breathing during sleep. Not only has heart disease been shown as possibly linked to sleep disorders, but type 2 diabetes and obesity as well. While these studies are not confirmed that there is a link, studies do show that better sleep produces better immune system for Cumming/Gainesville seniors, which results in better overall health.
