Sleep and hypertension – a Cuban study
The Cuban Institute for Fundamental Brain Research conducted a study of 206 hypertensive patients. The results showed that 81.07% of them suffered from sleep disorders, while only 18.9% reported sleeping normally. The most frequent problems were insomnia and snoring, both occurring in 57.7% of cases.
Important warning: The information presented is based on current and verified data from organizations such as the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and scientific publications. Hypertension is indeed one of the most significant risk factors for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney failure, contributing to approximately half of all cardiovascular deaths.
Studies have shown that the use of sleeping pills, particularly benzodiazepines and other similar medications, is associated with increased overall mortality and a presumed risk of premature death, necessitating cautious use and medical supervision.
