Loud Snorers At Risk For More Than Separate Bedrooms...
Dear Reader,
Experts are coming to recognize that sleep is an important part of staying healthy, but that sleep complaints... things like snoring or trouble falling asleep, are increasingly common. And while these types of problems are tied to cardiovascular disease, a recent study is the first to report the link between common sleep problems and the risk of metabolic syndrome.
The new study finds that if you snore, have trouble falling asleep or wake up unrefreshed, your chances of metabolic syndrome are higher than for those who get a good night's sleep.
Metabolic syndrome is a group of risk factors for heart disease, diabetes and stroke that is diagnosed if you have any three of the following - too much belly fat, high triglycerides, low HDL (good) cholesterol, high blood pressure or high blood sugar.
For this work, the team examined the sleep habits of 812 adults between the ages of 45 and 74 who were participating in the community based Heart Strategies Concentrating on Risk Evaluation study. The subjects completed a baseline sleep questionnaire and were free of metabolic syndrome at the start of the study period.
After three years 14% of the subjects had developed metabolic syndrome. Those who had trouble falling asleep had an 80% greater chance of developing metabolic syndrome than those who fell asleep normally. Those who reported unrefreshing sleep had a 70% higher risk of metabolic syndrome than those who woke rested and refreshed.
In fact, adults who snored loudly and often were two times as likely to develop metabolic syndrome over a three-year period. These people have a more than two fold increased risk of developing high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) and were 92% more likely to have low levels of that good (HDL) cholesterol.
After the researchers looked at each type of sleep problem independently, they saw that only the loud snoring and trouble falling off to sleep were predictive of the development of metabolic syndrome.
Snoring comes from breathing in a partially blocked airway. Air that vibrates as it moves past the tissues in the back of the throat is what brings the ear splitting sound. Almost 24% of women and 40% of men snore regularly. It's more common in those who are overweight because they have more fat in the back of the throat... more fat equals more vibration and more sound.

Loud Snorers At Risk For More Than Separate Bedrooms... Continued...
Earlier work has shown that sleep disturbances can affect hormones that regulate
weight, the activity of your brain and inflammation, as well as those linked
to metabolism and heart health. Disturbances to your sleep can also bring sleepiness
and fatigue, which makes it hard to workout, to get motivated... to do much of
anything.
There's also evidence that snoring related vibrations can damage the walls of
the carotid artery that passes through the neck, and influence the risk of heart
problems or the inflammation that's associated with atherosclerosis.
The researchers hope that these findings prompt doctors to ask about sleep patterns
and issues during physical exams. If you snore (or have been told you do) mention
this to your doctor. Any sleeping disturbances that last longer than a few weeks
should also be mentioned as there are treatments to help.
The next bit of research will look at the degree to which sleep symptoms are
associated with heart disease. Study leader Wendy Troxel, assistant professor
of psychiatry and psychology at the University of Pittsburgh, is also studying
the links between psychosocial risk factors and disturbed sleep.
To your good health,
