A study published in Monday in the American Heart Association journal Circulation found that insomnia has something to do with heart attack, they have done surveys to more than 50000 adults, and the result is people who has trouble to sleep or stay late have tendencies to have a heart attack, and so do for those who sleep but still feel not-well.

            Even so, further research is still needed, say Dr. Lars Erik Laugsand, an internist in the public health department of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology Cardiologist Suzanne Steinbaum, who directs the Women and Heart Disease program at Lenox Hill Hospital, in New York City. This is to see how sleep is related with heart attack and reduce the risk. Laugsand, also suggests that metabolism or blood-vessel health such as inflammation, may be involved.

However its treatment is not well developed yet, Susan Zafarlotfi, clinical director of the Institute for Sleep-Wake Disorders at Hackensack University, she also advices that this problem to be further researched.
