(RealAge.com) [E]very additional hour of sleep you lose increases your risk of high blood pressure by 37 percent, according to a study of middle-aged adults.
Unfortunately, most people are losing ground when it comes to getting adequate shut-eye. In the 5-year study, over 40 percent of the participants got fewer than 6 hours of sleep per night. And only a paltry 1 percent averaged 8 or more hours nightly. That lack of sleep doesn't just leave your eyes bleary and your head cloudy. It puts all your body systems in a state of disarray.
