"This technique is based on previous research that suggests that stress can negatively affect sleep. We know there are many risk factors for heart disease such as smoking, diabetes and high cholesterol. But little is understood about the stress, "said Dr. Arn Eliasson, a consultant at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center
