The human heart works nonstop. Day after day, it pumps blood through the body, adapting to a wide variety of stresses in the process. Two recent studies show just how complex this adaptability is. A study involving more than 11,000 people suggests that increased exposure to light at night is associated with changes in the […]The human heart works nonstop.

Discovered in the Gut: The Hidden Trigger for Heart Disease in Sleep Apnea
Millions of people worldwide suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, a common condition in which breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep. New research in mice suggests that gut microbes and the metabolites they produce may play a surprising role in protecting against some of the most serious consequences of this condition, including heart disease. The findings […]Millions of people worldwide suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, a common condition in which breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep.

Irregular Sleep Schedules May Put More Strain on the Heart Than Previously Thought
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.
