A new study has revealed that losing sleep for just a few nights can take a serious toll on heart health. Researchers found that getting only 4.25 hours of sleep per night for three consecutive nights triggered a surge in 90 inflammatory proteins in the blood—many tied to heart failure, coronary artery disease, and atrial fibrillation.
Alarmingly, even young and otherwise healthy individuals were shown to be at risk. Experts say the findings highlight how quickly poor sleep can strain the heart and increase the chances of long-term illness.
Beyond heart health, sleep loss raises stress hormones, disrupts blood sugar, and interferes with appetite control, which may lead to overeating, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. It also weakens the immune system and affects mental health, impairing mood, memory, and decision-making.
Researchers emphasize that sleep is not a luxury but a vital part of overall health. Prioritizing rest, they say, may be one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect the heart and body from long-term harm.

When we don’t get enough sleep, our brain’s cleanup crew—astrocytes and microglia—go into overdrive. Instead of just clearing debris, they start pruning healthy synapses and even neurons, effectively “eating” parts of the brain in a process hugely amplified by chronic sleep loss.

This hyper-pruning isn’t just theoretical—it shows up in experiments on sleep-deprived mice and is linked to signs of inflammation and long-term changes in brain structure. Over time, this can impact memory, mood, and raise risks for neurological issues.

The good news? Catching up on sleep and prioritizing consistent rest can help dial this back. Your brain rebuilds, rebalances, and rewards you when you finally let it rest and recover.

March is Sleep Apnea Awareness Month. Sleep apnea is a common and serious sleeping disorder that happens when your regular breathing is interrupted during sleep. Snoring is common among patients with sleep apnea but not all snorers have sleep apnea.

Snoring is very common and, it’s not normal, and snoring often points to a bigger problem. If you snore every night (habitually loud) it’s a sign that the air IS NOT moving freely through your upper airway, and you’re experiencing some amount of obstruction in your breathing pathways. This blockage causes the tissues around your nose and throat to vibrate, creating the snoring sound. The most common cause of loud snoring is OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA! It’s usually accompanied by pauses in breathing, tiredness upon waking up and during days. If left undiagnosed, it can lead to hypertension, heart diseases, heart attack and stroke and type 2 diabetes!
DO NOT ignore snoring, have yourself checked out by a SLEEP DOCTOR. Call the Insomnia Clinic Baguio today for an appointment. 09181574410 or send an email to ely.sleepMD@gmail.com

Also, chronic sleep deprivation increases one's risk for type 2 diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome.
