An irregular sleep schedule in one’s 40s could quietly lay the groundwork for future heart problems. Researchers who observed thousands of people over a decade found that individuals with highly irregular bedtimes—especially if they slept less than eight hours—had about twice the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attacks or strokes. Interestingly, it […]An irregular sleep schedule in one’s 40s could quietly lay the groundwork for future heart problems.

Insomnia and Sleep Apnea Together Significantly Increase the Risk of Heart Disease
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine (YSM) are drawing attention to an important and preventable factor in cardiovascular disease. Their findings suggest that improving sleep could play a much greater role in heart health than many people realize. In a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, scientists analyzed data from nearly […]Researchers at Yale School of Medicine (YSM) are drawing attention to an important and preventable factor in cardiovascular disease.

To Improve Your Heart Health, You Should Stop Eating 3 Hours Before Going to Bed
Researchers at Northwestern Medicine investigated whether adjusting the nighttime fasting period to a person’s natural sleep-wake cycle could improve heart and metabolic health. The circadian rhythm plays a central role in regulating cardiovascular and metabolic functions. Importantly, participants did not reduce their calorie intake. The focus was solely on adjusting meal times. The study found […]Researchers at Northwestern Medicine investigated whether adjusting the nighttime fasting period to a person's natural sleep-wake cycle could improve heart and metabolic health.

Late Bedtimes are Associated With a Higher Risk of Heart Disease
Middle-aged and older adults who tend to be more active in the evening have poorer cardiovascular health than those who are active earlier in the day. This association appears to be more pronounced in women, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. The findings suggest that the time […]Middle-aged and older adults who tend to be more active in the evening have poorer cardiovascular health than those who are active earlier in the day.

Reduced Sleep Can Alter the Strain on the Heart Caused by Intense Exercise
In one study, participants completed an intense workout after a normal night’s sleep and after three nights of reduced sleep. When they exercised after reduced sleep, levels of the heart damage biomarker troponin rose slightly more than when participants exercised after a full night’s sleep. This study, published in the journal Molecular Metabolism, is a […]In one study, participants completed an intense workout after a normal night's sleep and after three nights of reduced sleep.
