Diagnosis of hypertension requires three measurements at different times. Your high blood pressure this time may really be related to your poor rest. There are many factors that affect blood pressure, such as poor rest, excitement, nervousness at the sight of a white coat, and no rest for five minutes before measurement.
2. Hypertension has little to do with sleep.
On June 8, 2009, American researchers said that research shows that the less sleep time middle-aged people have, the greater the risk of hypertension, with an average of less sleep 1 hour every day, and the probability of hypertension will increase by nearly 40% in five years.
Kristen Knutson, an expert in the Department of Health Studies at the University of Chicago, and other researchers wrote in the American Journal of Internal Medicine: "The less people sleep, the greater the risk of hypertension in five years. If people who sleep for 5 hours a day are compared with those who sleep for 6 hours, people who sleep for 5 hours will have a 37% higher risk of developing high blood pressure within 5 years. "
The researchers selected 578 adults as subjects to observe their sleep time and blood pressure changes. The average age of these subjects is 40 years old and they sleep for 6 hours every day. Only 65,438+0% of the subjects slept for 8 hours or more.
Knudsen said: "Men, especially black men, suffer from high blood pressure, which may be related to sleep time to some extent." People who don't get enough sleep are more likely to get high blood pressure.
Studies have also shown that women who snore are at greater risk of hypertension. In the next stage, they will study whether increasing sleep time can effectively reduce the risk of hypertension.
3. Hypertension is related to poor sleep quality.
In recent years, medical research shows that nearly 50% of hypertensive patients (especially middle-aged and elderly people) are caused by poor sleep.
Sleep hypoxia will make sympathetic nerves excited continuously, which will lead to a sharp increase in vasoconstrictors in blood, damage vascular endothelial cells, and lead to a sudden increase and acceleration of blood pressure and heartbeat. The average person's blood pressure should drop to the lowest in the middle of the night, but such patients' blood pressure will increase rather than decrease at night. Long-term will lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, acute myocardial infarction, arteriosclerosis, sudden death and so on. The sleep disability rate is over 70%.
4. Normal and healthy sleep time
Experts say that 7-8 hours is the standard sleep time a person needs. A survey shows that sleeping less than 6 hours a day will harm your health. At the same time, sleeping for more than 9 hours will also be harmful to health. This survey is based on a survey of 65,438+10,000 men and women aged 40 to 79, and makes a statistical analysis of the relationship between living habits and health and life expectancy. In the survey of sleep time, men sleep an average of 7.5 hours a day, while women sleep 7. 1 hour. Both men and women with the lowest mortality sleep for about 7 hours. People who sleep less than 4 hours or more than 10 hours a day, regardless of gender, have a high mortality rate.
5. Human activities in different periods.
2 1: 00-23: 00: 00: 00: detoxification of immune system.
23: 00-65438+ 0: 00 am liver detoxification (deep sleep is needed).
65438+ detoxify the large intestine from 0: 00 to 3: 00 in the morning.
6. Cyclic 90-minute sleep cycle
It has been circulating on the Internet that if the sleep time is a multiple of 90 minutes, people will be in good spirits after waking up.
Based on all the information I have found, I suggest that you sleep between 10:- 1 1: 00 at night and keep sleeping for seven and a half hours, which should be more conducive to your health, not just to high blood pressure. In addition, I suggest you take time to measure your blood pressure several times to confirm whether you have high blood pressure. I wish you the best of health!
