Did you know that how well you sleep can actually affect your heart? In today's episode, we’ll dive into how both the quantity of sleep and quality of sleep can make a difference for your health. Skimping on sleep—less than seven hours a night—can lead to weight gain, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease, creating a cycle that’s tough to break. But, there’s hope! Small steps like sticking to regular sleep and wake times and watching out for conditions like sleep apnea, especially if you already have heart issues, can make a huge impact.
It’s all about getting better rest to help your heart—and the rest of you—stay strong.
