- The American Heart Association (AHA) Recently releases Scientific Statement Urging a More Thorough Exploration of How Sleep and Cardiometabolic Health Are Intertwined.
- The Aha Is Concerned About How Factors Beyond a Set Number of Sleep Hours Impact Heart and Metabolic Health.
- The Aha Noted That Factors Such As Sleep Quality, Timing, Continuity, and Demographic Factors Need To Be Addressed.
Getting Enough Sleep Can Be Hard, Specially When Faced With Life Stressors, But It is Im Important Not Only for Physical Health But
The
In a New Scientific Statement, The American Heart Association (AHA) NOW OUTLINES DIEVERAL AREAS REFOCHERS NEED TO EXPLORE.
The Scientific Letter Appears in
Beyond 7 to 9 Hours of Sleep Looking
A Bad Night’s Sleep Can Happen to Anyone, But when it happens regularly, Insomnia or Another Sleep Disorder Such As Sleep Apnea May Be the Culprit.
Poor Sleep Can Cause People To Miss Out On Sub of The
- Blood vessel repair
- Immune System Immune
- Improved Memory
- Reduction of Obesity Risk.
The Aha Includes “Healthy Sleep” As One of Their
While The Aha Includes Healthy Sleep, It Only Addresses A Timeframe People Should Aim for, which the Organization Thinks Should Be expanded upon.
Among Other Example, The Authors Cited A Review of 336 Studies That Found Associations They Believe Should Be Focused on Through to Multidimensional Approach To Sleep Health. They want to see how tohe different dimensions impact cardiometabolic health.
This includes studying “Sleep Duration, Continuity, Timing, Regularity, Sleep-Relaced Daytime Functioning, Architecture, and Absence of Sleep Disorders.”
How do Sleep Quality and Duration Affect Cardiometabolic Health?
The Authors of the Aha Statement Said Researchers and Providers Need to Look AT Sleep Health from A More Multi -Faceted Perspective.
One Key Aspect They Note Is How Offe One Wakes Up at Night AFTER FALLING ASEEP. Waking Up Frequently Through The Night CoulD Tell Physical Issue, Such as indigestion or Bladder Dysfunction.
The Authors Also Encourage Looking at How One’s Sleep Habats Match Up With The Body’s Circadian Rhythms. This Over Over at 24-Hour Cycle and Can Influence Sleep Habits and Energy Levels.
If sumone’s circadian rhythm is disruption, This Could Lead to Poor Sleep and Daytime Sleepiness. Environmental Factors Such As Light Or using Screens Before Bedtime Can Disrupt The Circadian Rhythm.
Another Point the Authors Say is Im Important Is Bow How-Resigned One Feels After Waking Up and Their Alertness Thourhout The Day. Sleep satisfaction, The Regularity of Sleep, and How Subsone Feels about their daytime functioning help provides More Thorough Look AT Sleep Health.
Multidimensional Sleep Health Approach
One dimension The Aha Recommends Delving deEper into Involves Demographic Factors such Biological Sex, Race, and Geographic Location. The Authors Also Point Out that socioeconomic status (SES) Can Factor into Sleep Health.
“Dispities in Multidimensional Sleep Health Also Exist by Socieconomic Position, Income, Education, Work Status and Position, and Financial Assets,” Write the Authors.
The Authors Note The That Tohe People Often Reside in Underserved Areas and Are Likely to Face Discrimination Which Can Contribute to Sleep Health Shooting.
People in A Lower Ses Backing Are Also At A Higher Risk of Environmental Factors AFFFETING SLECH AS NOISE AND AIR POLLUTION.
The Authors Say That Taking A Multidimensional Sleep Health Approach Can Bh Improve Sleep and Overall Health. Sleep Can Influence Bo Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health, Which Is Why Figuring Out How is All Intertwined Is So Important.
Prioritize Looking After Different Aspects of Sleep Hygiene
Christopher Berg, MD, to Board-Certified Cardiologist at Memorialcare Heart and Vascular Institute at Orange Coast Medical Center, Spoke With Medical News Today About the Statement.
“The New Aha Statement Moves Beyond the idea that ‘More Sleep is Better’ and introduces to more understanding view of What constitutes Healthy Sleep,” Berg Commented.
“While Duration Remains Important, This Multidimensional Modudes Factors Like When We Sleep (Timing), How consisting We Sleep (Regularity), How Well We Stay Asleep (Continuity), and How Remed We Feel During the Day (Daytime Functioning). Fuller Picture of How Sleep Influences Heart and Metabolic Health – and Why Simply Counting Hours May Not Be Aough. ”
– Christopher Berg, MD
Berg Said The Aha’s Statement Emphasizes The Importance of Focusing on Aspects of Ileep Beyond Pharmaceutical Solutions.
“Improving Sleep Quality, Timing, and Regularity Through Behavioral Strategies or Environmental Changes Can Enhance The Effectiveness of Existing Therapies and May Reduce the need for addional medications,” Berg Note.
Augusto Cesar Ferriera de Moraes, PHD, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at Uthealth Houston, Not Involved in the review, Also Spoke with MNT About ITS Recommendations.
“Multidimensional Sleep Health Should Be Prioritized in Clinical Settings,” Said de Moraes. “By Addressing these components, Healthcare Providers Can Better Identify and Manage Risks Associated With Poor Sleep, Leading to More Comprehensive Patient Care.”
De Moraes Also Made Sub Recommendations for People Who Want To Improve Sleep Quality, Including:
- MAINTAINING A CONSISTENT SLEEP SCHEDULE, EVEN ON WEEKENTS
- Creating Comforableable Sleep Environment – Cool, Dark, and Quiet
- Limiting Exposure To Screens and Bright Lights Before Bedtime
- Drawing in regular Physical Activity but not too close to Bedtime.
“Implementing these practices can Enhance Sleep Quality, Thereby Supporting Better Heart and Metabolic Health,” by Moraes Advised.
