Noise pollution has become part of everyday life in many cities, yet its impact on sleep and cardiovascular health is often underestimated. In dense urban soundscapes, constant traffic, construction, and nightlife noise can drive sleep disruption, activate the body's stress response, and contribute to higher blood pressure over time.
Understanding these links helps explain why some city residents feel persistently tired, stressed, and unwell, even when they seem to be "used to" the noise.
