Getting a good night sleep is vital for everyone; without enough sleep you run the risk of countless negative effects including an increased threat of heart problems.Now, research suggests that getting enough sleep is even more crucial for women. A study conducted by the University of Warwick Medical Center found that lack of sleep increases the levels of artery-damaging inflammatory markers in women, but there was no such increase in men. These inflammatory markers cause a thickening of the arteries and are a strong indicator of heart disease.
