How Poor Sleep Quality and Quantity Affect Your Heart

Experts recommend that adults get between seven and eight hours of sleep each night. Granted, life is busy, and sometimes you may not be able to get all the shuteye you deserve. But what if a sleep disorder, stress, or other problems routinely cause you to get less than six hours of sleep per night? What if you sleep for a long time but your sleep quality is poor? Recent research indicates that you may be at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
