Tossing and turning at night could double the risk of a heart attack
People who toss and turn in their sleep are twice as likely to suffer a heart attack, research
suggests. Scientists said regular waking in the night should be seen as a warning of future ill-
health.The study of nearly 13,000 people found that people who struggled to sleep through the night
were 99 per cent more likely to suffer from heart attacks or severe angina.
Those who took more than half an hour to fall asleep or got less than six hours of sleep a night were
also at increased risk. The Japanese research did not establish why there were such a strong
association between sleep and heart health. But scientists said that the act of constant waking might
cause “overactivity” in the nervous system, which could raise heart the heart rate and blood pressure,
placing extra strain on the heart.
Poor sleep could also be a symptom of poor health, meaning that those with heart problems were
less likely to get a decent night’s sleep. The research found people who took more than half an hour to
fall asleep had a 52 per cent increased heart attack risk and 48 per cent increased risk of a stroke. And
those who got less than six hours of sleep a night were 24 per cent more likely to have a heart attack.
Scientist: Warming Brings More Rain to Storms like Harvey
A storm named Harvey set a rainfall record in the continental United States this week. It dumped
1.32 meters of water over southeastern Texas. The former rainfall record was set in 1978 as Tropical
Storm Amelia dropped 1.21 meters of rainfall in the same area, according to the National Weather
Service.
Scientists say this may show what the future will be because of global warming. They say climate
change did not cause Harvey. But they note that warmer air and water mean wetter and possibly more
intense hurricanes in the future. “This is the kind of thing we are going to get more of,” said Princeton
University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer. “This storm should serve as warning.”
Scientific methods can be used to study if Harvey is tied to man-made climate change. It involves
complex mathematical processes. And it will take weeks or months to complete the study and even
longer to be reviewed by other scientists. But in general, climate scientists agree that the future storms
will drop much more rain than the same sized storms that came before.
