Sleepless Nights and Hurting Hearts: Understanding The Hidden Link Between Poor Sleep and heart Health

We often think of sleep as a luxury throughout the work week - something we sacrifice for a few more hours of work or social media scrolling, late night hangouts with friends or colleagues, or staying up stressing about a big presentation or the upcoming tax season.
