Does lack of sleep cause low blood pressure?

Do long term effects go away with better sleep habits?

• In the last year and more, i have been getting little sleep, usually i go to bed around 1-2am, and have to wake up around 7 for school. i am starting to get better sleep habits, but i've wondered i will have a lasting effect from my previous bad habits. Here is what i researched about long term effects : Long-term consequences can include the following: High blood pressure Heart attack Heart failure Stroke Psychiatric problems such as depression and other mood disorders Mental impairment Increased mortality risk Relationship problems with a bed partner Obesity - (The link between obesity and sleep is an interesting one as lack of sleep can cause weight gain by increasing hunger and affecting metabolism, and extra weight can cause sleep disorders such as apnea which cause sleep deprivation.) So my main question is, am i effected in the long term by the little sleep i had, and will they have a lasting effect, so will sleeping more regularly cause the long term effects from lack of sleep to diminish in the end or is the damage done and unrepairable?

• Answer:

  Well it looks like most of those things can he caused by stress and lack of sleep can cause stress in your life. What I suggest if you want to stop your habbit is to train yourself by setting a bed time, and take baby steps, like go th bed at 12 every night for awhile then go down to 11 and 10 and so on until you're getting proper sleep. I hope I helped!!!
