Sleep; not as critical
By the way when I was admitted to the hospital for my heart conditions in 2004 and 2008, they did monitor my blood pressure, and they did ask me if I was a smoker or not, but never asked about my sleeping habits. We need to focus more on controlling high blood pressure, quit smoking, stop drinking alcohol, reduce eating oily foods, and exercise. If these factors are controlled sleeping issues with be irrelevant in regards to coronary factors.
Other factors are more critical than sleep for HEART condition
I would not consider the sleep risk factor as critical as high blood pressure and smoking. Lung cancer risk is significant due to smoking and secondary smoking.
The following statement: (Prudence in all things: Getting too much sleep wasn't the best either—with those exceeding nine hours bumping up their heart risk.) kind of contradicts itself. It sounds very subjective. When a person gets a good 5 to 6 hours sleep with no distractions, he/she would wake up so fresh that he/she would be ready to take on any challenges that are on his plate.
A good night sleep or an afternoon nap with a cool breeze blowing is very soothing to one's mind, and is very good for your health.
8 Hours?? If you insist!
I read about this study too. I think it's an important finding, as busy executives and work-a-holics always get up super early, and think that it is good to start the day before sunrise! I have always been a fan of sleep, and now I am excited that Doctors have found the connection between sleep and a healthy heart!!! My company specializes in heart rate monitors (advancedhrm.com) and we are excited about keeping hearts healthy. Thanks for sharing, and looking forward to reading more "matters of the heart."
8hours of sleep or 8hours of work
These days, I'm more interested in getting 8hours of work. Sleep is important, but having a good job is even more important. A job for 8 hours a day means I can sleep better at night.
BTW, I was looking for a job and came across a site that provides job reviews, salary and layoff information. The site is 8hours.com (http://www.8hours.com). I was browsing the site and saw tons of information on companies, jobs, reviews, layoffs, etc.,
Check it out - maybe you can get your 8hours of sleep (or job)!!!
Good luck....
