  Effects of Sleep Fragmentation and Hypertension on REM Sleep, Neurovascular Coupling and Vascular Density
  Author(s): Bernard Rosner*
  
  In the realm of health and well-being, the significance of sleep is unequivocal. Quality sleep not only underpins physical and mental health but is intricately intertwined with the optimal functioning of the cardiovascular system. Recent research has unveiled an intriguing connection between sleep quality, particularly sleep fragmentation, hypertension, and the suppression of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. This article delves into the intricate interplay among these factors, shedding light on their impacts on neurovascular coupling and vascular responsiveness. REM sleep, a pivotal phase of the sleep cycle, known for vivid dreams and essential cognitive functions, holds the key to memory consolidation, emotional regulation, and overall mental well-being. Understanding the intricate dynamics at play between REM sleep, hypertension, and neurovascular coupling.. Read More»
