Most people with poor sleep have likely been told by their doctors that getting enough quality sleep each night will be critical to good health, especially in maintaining healthy blood pressure.
But an Italian study looking at men and women and their sleep patterns showed some frustrating results recently, especially for women.
The study that came out of the University of Pisa in Italy recently released data proving that not only are people with poor sleep more than twice as likely to suffer persistent and stubborn high blood pressure, but also that women are far more likely than men to suffer from poor sleep.
The 230-person study looked at men and women with an average age of 58. What they found was what many busy, working women would already likely tell you, which is that the stress of raising a family, caring for aging parents, running a home and other duties that typically fall on women are leading to chronic sleep problems at a rate that out-paces men.
Not getting proper sleep doesn’t just lead to high blood pressure, it makes hypertension much harder to fight than hypertension caused by other types of stress.

High blood pressure(hypertension) has been variously described as a systolic pressure higher than: 100 plus your age, then 100 plus half your age, then a fixed figure incorporating both systolic and diastolic:160/100, then 140/90, and 130/80, and currently it is 120/80. That could all change in the future, and ‘they'(the health experts) could lower it even further in their “wisdom.” ‘They’ have created a ‘norm’ for us ALL, but we are not the same.
What is the right blood pressure for you? “They” don’t know, that is proven by how many times they have changed it, what was once ‘normal’ can now be life threatening according to ‘them.’ Over the years the level of blood pressure considered normal has been progressively lowered to where we are all a potential patient – for the drugs industry. The corporate owned media have turned people into hypochondriacs, everybody is now watching their sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, tryglecerides, fat intake, salt intake, egg intake, calorie intake, etc, etc.
People should learn from those societies which have proven to be extremely healthy and robust for millenia, those societies are all over the earth, some still remain to this day amid a polluted food chain as controlled by the corporate mafia. Learn from them,and you will see a pattern of healthy eating which will protect anyone who chooses to better themselves, and thereby protect themselves from this modern ‘civilised’ way of eating which is like a cancer spreading across the globe and poisoning everybody.
99% of food in supermarkets is unfit for humnan consumption,. and yet 99% percent of the population eat it.
We live in a plastic world, and eat plastic food, consumed by a plastic minded people.

Michael Cook is right on the money here. Even if vested interests are not actually lowering the so called safe ratio they certainly will not be happy to see loss of sales should the” healthy” ratio be raised.
Talking about plastic, all seafood is now contaminated because sunlight breaks down plastic debris into particles so small the plankton take it up, and from there up the food chain.
So no societies are immune from the western dietary scourge overwhelming our planet.
Even in Japan soft drink vending machines are everywhere and the young today are beefing up, not slim like the older generation.
Even usually healthy foods like broccoli are nutrient reduced, by over 40%, due to soil degradation.
One good sign is that forums like this are spreading the news about what our diet should really concentrate on.
Eventually this will turn the tide.
I totally agree.Big pharm and big corporations have pulled the wool over our eyes with the spin they put on the benifits of their product, to the detriment of good healthy habits and practices.
I totally agree with you Micheal. My dad was a doctor and he taught me in the 60s that normal blood pressure is 100+your age for systolic and half your systolic measuring for your diastolic. So in my case, being 62, my normal blood pressure should be: 162/81, (which it usually is, by the way). This same teaching was imparted when I studied to be a registered nurse in the 70s. with the variation that the diastolic pressure should be half the systolic +20. (in my case now, would be 162/101). Then suddently everything started changing. In the 90s, when I had my 4th baby, the doctor was pushing inducting the delivery because my blood pressure was high (it was 140/75 for a woman 39 years old). That same reading is now considered hypertension and you are told that you are in a big danger of having a heart attack unless you get medicated. My mom's doctor started giving her meds when she was 180 or 200, definitely not when she was 160. And she died of old age.
Thank God, I have never yet fallen for the medical drugs yet, but I do use garlic to lower it if my blood pressure goes over 170/90.
All that to say, I believe we should all stay away from over medicating and we should use our God given intelligence instead of following blindly the agenda of Big pharma.
Proud of you honey!
Excellent article. My B.P. was 198/100 and I took medicine from my doctor for two week. I then started on Chinese herbal teas and L-argenine. I am now 128/80. My problem was caused by sleeping only about 3-4 hours per night, now I make sure to get more sleep and plan to have a normal B.P.
All of these comments are on the money. I find that our doctors only want to push the newest drugs to get their kickbacks. They really don’t know what is wrong ergo the “practicing medicine” routine. They don’t seem to worry about what the side effects will do to you. They just want you to “try it”. They feel the benefits will outweigh the side effects. How will they know. They are not putting that new poison inside their bodies. Everyone is worried about the food we ingest. Who can really tell us the truth about it. We need to take a more active part in seeing what we put inside our bodies.
interesting how blood pressure norms have changed from in the sixties. and seventies..100 plus your age for systolic, and half the systolic plus 20 for the diastolic, if you were 60 yeays of are then your normal would be 160 over 99…
I just remember that i am not 62…i am 61. big difference these days… ha ha.. it is hard to keep track after 50…
