Did you know that how well you sleep can actually affect your heart? In today's episode, we’ll dive into how both the quantity of sleep and quality of sleep can make a difference for your health. Skimping on sleep — less than seven hours a night — can lead to weight gain, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease, creating a cycle that’s tough to break. But there’s hope. Small steps, such as sticking to regular sleep and wake times and watching out for conditions like sleep apnea, especially if you already have heart issues, can make a huge impact.

Host: Neki Mohan, award-winning journalist.
Guest: Dionne Morgan, M.D., Sleep Medicine Physician at Baptist Health Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute.
