The heart is the most vital organ in our body and any problem related to it can be life-threatening. Sleep puts additional stress on the heart and for people with cardiovascular disease this can lead to heart failure or sudden cardiac arrest.
Another common reason is respiratory failure. People with respiratory problems such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and sleep apnea are at a higher risk of dying in their sleep. These conditions can cause a decrease in oxygen levels leading to hypoxia, which can cause cardiac arrest and ultimately death.
Additionally, sleep disorders such as sleepwalking, night terrors and sleep paralysis can also put people at risk of sudden death. Sleepwalking, for example can lead to falls while night terrors can cause heart palpitations and increased blood pressure, which can be fatal in people with underlying heart conditions.
