People who sleep too little or too much have increased calcium deposits in their arteries.

[Nelson Vergel]

The findings from a study revealed that participants who:
got five or fewer hours of sleep a day had 50 percent more calcium in their arteries than those who slept seven hours a day.
slept nine or more hours a day had at least 70 percent more calcium compared to those who slept seven hours.
reported poor sleep quality had more than 20 percent more calcium than those who reported good sleep quality.

"Since we studied apparently healthy young and middle-age men and women without major diseases, it is unlikely that other health problems can explain the association between extreme sleep duration and early markers of heart disease," Kim said.
Doctors don't yet know exactly why the proper amount of sleep appears to protect heart health, said Meyerson and Dr. Mark Urman, a cardiologist with Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute in Los Angeles.

During sleep, a complex dance of metabolic changes, hormone releases, body repair and brain refreshment takes place. These processes affect blood pressure, blood sugar, inflammation, stress hormones and a host of other factors that can increase risk of heart disease, the cardiologists said.

"We know our bodies every day need this ability to recharge our batteries, to put everything at ease and calm everything down," Urman said, adding that poor sleep has been linked to heart risk factors like diabetes and obesity.

I know it takes a lot more than just a good a vitamin K supplement to stop the growth of plaque (calcium in arteries) here's the one I use http://www.k-vitamins.com/ it is expensive but well worht the cost.

Brothers and Sistas, I do not hold here Mark I, nor would I think you deserving of Marks II or III. Could I sleep kontented knowing that I allowed my friends to subsist on Mark IV when for a few pennies more the royal kwality of kweens is theirs for the asking? That's right little lady, step right up and kwench your thirst. The first 5 who bring a friend will get no one, not two but three free kontainers of Mark X koncentrate with every purchase.

In only 163 days Mk-7 reduced my BMI from 38 to 15, decreased my systolic blood pressure 10 points, resolved my tinnitus, killed intestinal micro-parasites, increased my penis girth and lengthened my telomeres. I now have a biological age 21 years younger than my chronological. Proof that my IQ has risen: 82% return on MF Global Nutrition derivatives in 2 months.
