A lack of sleep seems to have more to do with hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis)—one major feature of cardiovascular disease—than eating a fatty diet. Not getting enough sleep regularly can cause a buildup of plaque in the arteries, which causes them to stiffen and eventually close. The standard theory of heart disease states that fatty foods cause the arteries to ‘clog up’ and narrow, but it has more to do with a “neuro immune axis” linking sleep to the cardiovascular system, say researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital. Sleep helps to regulate the production of inflammatory cells and maintain healthy blood vessels, and so it would follow that the lack of sleep has the reverse effect. The researchers demonstrated the effect on a group of laboratory mice. Although the cholesterol levels of the sleep-deprived mice remained the same, they developed larger arterial plaques and had double the number of inflammatory cells known to contribute to atherosclerosis. Hypocretin, a hormone that helps regulate sleep, also helps control production of white blood cells, the researchers discovered.
