(MyFox Detroit) — A simple change in your sleep routine can help reduce your risk of high blood pressure.
65-million Americans, or one in three adults, have high blood pressure.
You already know eating right, exercising and keeping your weight in healthy range all help reduce your risk.
However, there is something else you can do to avoid high blood pressure — researchers say an extra hour of sleep.
For every hour you lose, you raise your risk of getting high blood pressure by 37-percent.

Finally……a valid study of merit!
so its cool if I sleep all day! LOL but how about if in your sleep you have constant dreams that eleveate blood pressure. maybe best to say deep sleep, not all sleep is the same. I seen people toss and turn in their sleep for hours that cant be lowering blood pressure.
I agree with you,there needs to be much more research done with increasing kidney failure rates.
Always amazes me how things are “studied” isolation, the scientific types don’t make connections. I’ve read a number of times over the past several years that we are a severely sleep-deprived nation. That means a whole bunch of attendant health problems. Now I see this one little mention of how our sleep deprivation has a connection to HYPERTENSION!
That’s the hypertension that is decried and moaned about; and which is medicated and medicated and medicated. In isolation from other issues, such as the amount of sleep we are getting.
Anyone what to bet whether your doctor will ever speak of it?
