Bystanders, Sleep & cardiovascular Risk Factors in the Midle-aging-adults

A research study was recently to assess the relationship between sleep characteristics and cardiovascular risk factors and napping behavior, and to assess whether caught napping day leads to further better or worse sleep.

The sample consisted of 224 (African American, Caucasian and Asian) Middle-aged men and women. Sleep measures included nine nights actigraphy and sleep diaries, sleep questionnaires and one night of sleep polysomnography to measure disordered breathing.

More frequent bystanders was associated with lower nighttime sleep duration on average throughout the nine nights of actigraphy (especially among African Americans), most lamps counter sleepiness, more pain and fatigue from calendar and increased body mass index and waist circumference. Shorter duration nighttime sleep was associated with taking a nap during the day and taking a nap was associated with less efficient sleep the next night.

Bystanders middle-aged men and women is associated with overall less night sleep African Americans and lower sleep efficiency as measured by actigraphy and increased BMI and Central adiposity. These findings point to the importance of measuring the bystanders caught in associations understanding sleep disorders with cardiovascular risk.
