claimAcute sleep loss of 3.6 hours for one night results in increased blood pressure in healthy young males, which may serve as a biological mechanism for the link between sleep loss and cardiovascular disease (Tochikubo et al., 1996; Meier-Ewert et al., 2004).

claimPotential mechanisms explaining the link between sleep loss and cardiovascular events include blood pressure increases, sympathetic hyperactivity, or impaired glucose tolerance.
