does my sleep affect my heart health
00:03
there's now a great deal of evidence
00:05
that shows that poor sleep leads to poor
00:07
heart health
00:08
for example one study from 2011 they
00:11
attract more than
00:12
half a million men and women of
00:14
different ages races
00:16
ethnicities and across eight different
00:18
countries
00:19
showed that progressively shorter sleep
00:22
was associated with a 45
00:24
increase in the risk of and or dying
00:27
from
00:28
coronary heart disease within 7 to 25
00:32
years from the start
00:33
of the study another study from japan
00:37
looking at male workers found that over
00:40
a 14-year period
00:41
sleeping six hours or less
00:45
led to a 400 to 500 percent increase
00:48
in the likelihood of having a heart
00:50
attack when compared to those that were
00:52
sleeping
00:53
seven to eight hours a night
