Wow, yet another study came out today on sleep. Here it is:

(Thank you Karen Leland, our marketing go to person!)

Getting less than six hours sleep a night is more dangerous for
younger women who have not yet been through the menopause, according to researchers at the University of Warwick. In a paper published in the Journal of Hypertension, Dr Saverio Stranges, Associate Professor at the University’s Warwick Medical School led a team of researchers to look at reduced sleep duration and hypertension.

They found getting less than six hours sleep each night was associated with a significant increased risk of hypertension in women only.

Furthermore, the effect of reduced sleep duration on hypertension was more than doubled in premenopausal women, compared to postmenopausal women.
