Kwa mujibu wa Utafiti uliofanywa na Taasisi ya Moyo ya Marekani (Heart.Org) kwa Watu wenye miaka kati ya 20 hadi 70 umeonesha Watu wasiopata muda mrefu wa Kulala Usingizi kwa zaidi ya Saa 7 kila siku wanakuwa hatarini kupata Saratani au Kifo cha Ghafla.
Utafiti huo uliochapishwa kupitia Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA) umebaini Watu wenye matatizo yoyote yanayohusisha Magonjwa ya Moyo na Mishipa ya Ubongo (CBVDs) wako hatarini zaidi Kupoteza Maisha endapo watakuwa hawalali vizuri.
Aidha, imeelezwa kuwa Usingizi ni moja kati ya Tiba Bora za Mwili zinazofanya kazi wakati Mtu amelala kwa kurekebisha maeneo yenye shida, hivyo Mtu asiyelala angalau kwa Saa 7 au 8, anapunguza ufanisi wa Mwili kujitibu ambapo madhara yake huongezeka kadri Mtu anapokosa Usingizi wa kutosha.

Purpose: Insomnia, parasomnia, and obstructive sleep apnea have been associated with a number of disease pathologies, but little is known about the relationship of these sleep disorders and cancer. The study explored the risk of sleep disorder (SD)-induced cancer using nationwide population data. Two million data from the National Health Insurance system of Taiwan was used to assess for the relationship.
Patients and Methods: Patients with cancer as our cases and patients without cancer as our control group in 2001-20011. The study patients were traced back to seek the exposure risk factor of sleep disorders, which was divided into three categories: insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and parasomnia. Patients were selected excluding patients who had cancer prior to presenting with the sleep disorder and the person-year is less than 2 years. Each case was randomly matched with two cases with the same age, gender, and index year.
Results: There were significantly increased risks of breast cancer in the patients with insomnia (AHR=1.73; 95% CI: 1.57-1.90), patients with parasomnia (AHR=2.76; 95% CI: 1.53-5.00), and patients with OSA (AHR=2.10; 95% CI: 1.16-3.80). Moreover, patients with parasomnia had significantly higher risk of developing oral cancer (AHR=2.71; 95% CI: 1.02-7.24) compared with patients without parasomnia. The risk of suffering from nasal cancer (AHR=5.96, 95% CI: 2.96-11.99) and prostate cancer (AHR=3.69, 95% CI: 1.98- 6.89) in patients with OSA was significantly higher than that of patients without OSA.
Conclusions: Our findings provided the evidence that people diagnosed with insomnia, parasomnia and OSA are at a higher risk of developing cancers to remind people to improve sleep quality.
Not getting enough sleep may put some people at risk for much more than being drowsy the next day, a new study says.
Middle-aged people with high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease or stroke could be at increased risk for cancer and early death if they get less than six hours of sleep a night, researchers reported Wednesday in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
Specifically, those with high blood pressure or diabetes who slept less than six hours had twice the risk of dying from heart disease or stroke compared with people who slept six or more hours. Sleep-deprived people with a history of heart disease or stroke had three times the increased risk of dying from cancer during the study that spanned three decades.
"Our study suggests that achieving normal sleep may be protective for some people with these health conditions and risks," the study's lead author Julio Fernandez-Mendoza said in a news release. He's an associate professor at Pennsylvania State College of Medicine and sleep psychologist at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey.
But more research will be needed to determine whether increasing sleep through medical or behavioral therapies could reduce risk of early death, Fernandez-Mendoza said.
The study looked at more than 1,600 adults who were categorized into two groups. One had stage 2 high blood pressure or Type 2 diabetes. The other had heart disease or stroke.
Participants were studied in a sleep lab for one night between 1991 and 1998. Researchers then tracked their cause of death up to the end of 2016. In that period, 512 people died — one-third of them from heart disease or stroke and one-fourth from cancer.
Fernandez-Mendoza said better identification of people with specific sleep issues would potentially lead to better treatment.
"Short sleep duration should be included as a useful risk factor to predict the long-term outcomes of people with these health conditions," he said.
