A Healthy Habit Indicates High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure is usually blamed on unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as bad diet and lack of exercise.

But a new study, from Dr. Nobuo Sasaki and colleagues at Hiroshima University, reveals a healthy habit that people with high blood pressure tend to have.

The researchers examined 2,400 adults to find out whether high blood pressure influenced bedtime and sleep quality.

Peculiarly, they found that men, but not women, with high blood pressure tend to fall asleep earlier than those with normal blood pressure.

In their study, hypertensive men went to bed, on average, 18 minutes earlier than their healthy peers: 11:10 PM versus 11:28 PM.

In addition, they discovered that hypertensive men slept worse than those with normal blood pressure, to the extent that they scored with insomniacs as poor sleepers.

So, does going to sleep early cause high blood pressure?

Not at all.

The study merely suggests that the tendency to fall asleep early can indicate that you already have high blood pressure.

If this is the case, you may want to get yourself tested.

Most likely, this happens because those with high blood pressure never get the “low-blood-pressure rest” in the middle of the night that healthy people get. Therefore, their bodies are under stress 24/7.

Our blood pressure exercises are designed to break this stress-circle high blood pressure cause.

They give your body and mind something I call a “Focused Break”, which reboots your system to a healthy blood pressure level in as little as nine minutes.
