Getting too much sleep more than seven hours each night may be associated with a higher risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), according to new research.
Excessive sleep duration puts the body into a state of stress and creates elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a key inflammatory marker associated with heart disease.
However, the standard recommendation of getting seven to nine hours of sleep every night is just an average. In general, it’s worth putting in some effort to track your sleep and employ strategies that improve its quality, so that you’re less likely to nap or oversleep at night.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released clinical recommendations for the management of myocarditis and pericarditis, inflammation of the heart, in vaccinated individuals following news that the agency was investigating a small number of young adults and adolescents who may have experienced heart problems following a
COVID-19 vaccination. There is no clear link to the vaccine at this time.
The CDC said growing reports of heart issues have cropped up after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Pfizer, Moderna) since April, especially in male adolescents and young adults aged 16 and older. Such a pattern has not been observed in those who received Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose vaccine.
