...study found that 99 cardiovascular events occurred among all volunteers. The incidence rate was about 33% higher among people who slept less than seven and a half hours a night and had elevated overnight blood pressure - the so-called "riser pattern" - compared with longer sleepers. But those who slept less than seven and a half hours a night yet experienced no overnight hypertension showed no increased cardiac risk; their rate of heart disease was the same as that of the long sleepers. Particularly when it comes to elderly patients, the authors write that "physicians should inquire about sleep duration...

Longer sleep is, therefore, especially vital for patients who already have high blood pressure. Maintaining a consistent sleep pattern is also important - tampering with the body's circadian rhythm is associated with a variety of hormonal, metabolic and cardiovascular problems.

Harvard University’s withdrawal is unfortunate but both understandable and expected. That said, as legal...
