Today I want to answer a question I received relating to the dangers of cardiovascular problems if you’re not sleeping and if you’re exercising. 

If you combine high-intensity exercise with a sleep problem like insomnia or sleep apnea, you could potentially dramatically spike your risk for heart attacks. 

Sleeping can really improve cardiovascular function. If you’re not sleeping, your heart could be under more stress. If you add intense exercise on top of that, this could be bad for the heart. 

Adjust your workouts based on your energy and your sleep. If you sleep well and you have a lot of energy, then do a high-intensity type workout. But, if you’re not sleeping, you may want to do very low-intensity exercise like walking. 

Overall, you really need to fix your sleep.

Thanks for watching! If you’re not sleeping well, low-intensity exercise may be better for your heart than high-intensity exercise.
