#7 – Schedule Sleep
When you don’t get enough sleep, you are exposed to an increase in arterial aging and an increased risk of a heart attack. If you get less than 6 hours of sleep daily, your organism will release very little serotonin in your brain, making you feel slightly depressed. This will make you look for alternative ways to feel better, such as eating foods that consist of too much sugar or consuming too much alcohol. Note that you should also consider having an afternoon nap every day, as it can really protect your heart.
