Great question! Sleep plays a crucial role in maintaining our cardiovascular health. During sleep, your body works to support healthy brain function and maintain your physical health, including repairing your heart and blood vessels. Lack of quality sleep can contribute to problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity, which are all risk factors for heart disease. #hearthealth #sleep #cardiovasculardisease

To add to that, it's important to aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night for most adults. Establishing a consistent sleep schedule, creating a relaxing bedtime routine, and avoiding screens before bed can all help promote better sleep quality. Additionally, making healthy lifestyle choices such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management can further support your cardiovascular health. #sleephygiene #cardiovascularhealth #lifestyle

Thank you both for the informative responses! I think many people underestimate the importance of sleep for their overall health, especially when it comes to their heart. I'll definitely be making an effort to prioritize my sleep and make some lifestyle changes to support my cardiovascular health. #sleepwell #hearthealthmatters
