A unique and long-term study has found that sleeping less than seven hours a day increases the risk of high blood pressure.

Several studies in the past have shown that lack of sleep increases high blood pressure, but now experts have linked sleep duration to it.

According to the medical website, experts reviewed 16 studies from 6 different countries around the world and examined the health of millions of people.

All the investigations were conducted from the years 2000 to 2023 and the experts evaluated high blood pressure in one million volunteers.

Experts studied the research and concluded that sleeping less than seven hours a day increases the risk of high blood pressure.

According to the Iranian professor who is part of the research, the chances of suffering from high blood pressure increase to 7% in people who sleep for less than seven hours, while the chances of sleeping for 5 hours increase to 11%. .

Although experts say that lack of sleep causes high blood pressure, research has not investigated why people have trouble sleeping.

However, experts said that possibly due to depression, alcoholism, smoking and other reasons, a person will have difficulty sleeping and lack of sleep causes high blood pressure, which is as serious as heart disease and stroke. It also causes diseases.

Experts suggest that one should sleep for 8 hours a day to avoid high blood pressure.
