Tossing and turning at night could double the risk of a heart attack People who toss and turn in their sleep are twice as likely to suffer a heart attack, research suggests. Scientists said regular waking in the night should be seen as a warning of future ill-health.The study of nearly 13,000 people found that people who struggled to sleep through the night were 99 per cent more likely to suffer from heart attacks or severe angina. Those who took more than half an hour to fall asleep or got less than six hours of sleep a night were also at increased risk. The Japanese research did not establish why there were such a strong association between sleep and heart health. But scientists said that the act of constant waking might cause “overactivity” in the nervous system, which could raise heart the heart rate and blood pressure, placing extra strain on the heart. Poor sleep could also be a symptom of poor health, meaning that those with heart problems were less likely to get a decent night’s sleep. The research found people who took more than half an hour to fall asleep had a 52 per cent increased heart attack risk and 48 per cent increased risk of a stroke. And those who got less than six hours of sleep a night were 24 per cent more likely to have a heart attack.

In 2000, around a quarter of unmarried people between the ages of 16 and 59 were cohabiting in Great Britain. Cohabiting couples are also starting families without first being married. Before 1960 this was very unusual, but in 2001 around 23 per cent of births in the UK were to cohabiting couples.

The search for alternative resources of energy has resulted in various directions. Many communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Changing waste products into gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of waste. Experimental work is being done to make synthetic fuels from coal, or coal tars. But to date, that process has proved expensive. Other experiments are underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the earth, is also being tested.
Some experts are trying to revive hydroelectric power which is derived from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago, hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies only four per cent. The oceans are another source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to change the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves into electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.
