Sleep and hypertension: a Cuban study
The Basic Brain Research Institute in Cuba 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, each affecting 57.7% of the participants.
Important warning: The information presented is based on current actions and verifications by organizations that have informed the World Health Organization (WHO), 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, accounting for approximately half of all cardiovascular deaths.
Studies have shown that the use of sleeping pills, particularly benzodiazepines and other similar drugs, is associated with overall mortality and a risk of premature death, necessitating cautious use and medical supervision.
