A new study suggests that teenagers who sleep less than seven hours daily are more likely to have high blood pressure. According to experts, the habit can also give rise to long -term serious health conditions such as insomnia, which increases high blood pressure up to more than 140 systolic.

Research presented at an American Heart Association meeting at New Orleans earlier this week warned that adolescents can establish high blood pressure children for heart health problems throughout the years.

“When we need to detect this association in large studies on adolescence, it is safe to say that sleep is safe for heart health, and we should not wait even to adults to address it.”

“All teenagers who complain of insomnia symptoms are at risk for cardiovascular issues,” they continued in AHA news. “However, monitoring their sleep duration can help us identify people who have a more serious form of insomnia and are at risk for heart problems.”

How was the study done?

For studies, researchers enrolled about 420 students in three school districts in Harrisburg, Penn. The period of his sleep, whether he was suffering from insomnia, was measured regularly for at least three years. The teenager’s blood pressure was taken for some time two to three hours before the light in the sleep lab.

“We know that disturbed and inadequate sleep is associated with high blood pressure in adults, especially in adults who report insomnia and sleep less than six hours, but we do not yet know if these union is present in teenagers,” Fernandez-Mendoza said.

If their number exceeds 120/80 and the teenager was considered increased blood pressure with full high blood pressure with reading 140/90 or more.

What were the conclusions?

According to the researchers, teenagers who reported insomnia, but got more than 7.7 hours of sleep, did not appear to be at risk for either high or high blood pressure.

Scientists say that findings are important to understand the need of parents, especially to listen to young people who complain of disturbed sleep, to monitor and assess their sleep, and help them improve it to prevent heart problems quickly.

The best ways to fix the teen’s sleeping schedule

To fix their sleeping schedule for teenagers and get regulated and uninterrupted sleep, they need:

Be active during the day

Teenagers should perform at least one hour of physical activity per day, whether it is sports, running, or walk, which can help improve mood and reduce stress. Just do not work very closely while sleeping because exercise can wake you up before you slow down.

Avoid caffeine while sleeping

Most of the youth today drink coffee, which is filled with caffeine – a stimulant that only keeps you awakened and alert. However, drinking coffee near bedtime can toss and turn to bed.

Say good night for electronics

Make sure your bedroom is a technical-free area, because light that comes out of electronic devices, motivates the brain to think that it is still day, so close everything one hour before the lights go out.

Keep a sleeping routine

Be sure to go to bed every night at the same time. It helps your body in the hope of sleep. Creating a set gold routine also increases the relaxation effect.
