It’s well known that snoring may damage your health but new study of the effect of noise on sleep has found that a snoring partner can raise a sleep partner’s blood pressure by as much as a low-flying aircraft.Scientists who monitored 140 volunteers in their homes near of four European airports found the noises penetrating the bedroom had the same effect as those emanating from the neighboring pillow.
Blood pressure went up in direct relation to noise loudness, by 0.66 mm Hg for every five-decibel increase, the researchers say in the European Heart Journal. The type of sound or its origin did not appear to be important. It was only the sound volume that mattered.
Lars Jarup, an author of the study from Imperial College London, said: "We know that noise from air traffic can be a source of irritation, but research shows that it can also be damaging for people's health. This is particularly significant in the light of plans to expand international airports."
He added: "Our studies show night-time aircraft noise can affect blood pressure instantly and increase the risk of hypertension."
People with high blood pressure (hypertension) have an increased risk of developing heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and dementia. High blood pressure is defined by World Health Organization as being 140/90mmHg or more.
