    Couples who fought and did not get enough sleep had higher inflammation levels according to a study done by Ohio State University. The study measured inflammation in 43 married couples through blood tests after having them discuss issues and limiting their sleep. It found that lack of sleep alone did not increase inflammation but that arguing and poor sleep together raised inflammation levels the most, putting people at greater risk for health problems like diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.

    Sleep and Marriage

    Lack of sleep can ruin a marriage

    Arguing with your spouse is bad for your health. Research shows fights inc
    rease inflammation in your body. Not getting enough sleep also causes infl
    ammation. High inflammation levels can make you sick. You can get diabe
    tes, cancer and heart disease. Scientists from Ohio State University did a 
    study. They wanted to know if a couple bad nights of sleep was enough to 
    increase inflammation. The scientists studied married couples.

    They invited fortyf.three married couples to their lab. They took blood tests. T
    he tests measured inflammation levels. Scientists thought people who slept le
    ss had more inflammation. That was not true. The scientists also asked the co
    uples to talk about an issue. Money was one issue. Inflammation in people wh
    o fought and did not get enough sleep was higher. The risk comes when peop
    le do not sleep enough and are stressed.

    Question
    According to the study, who had higher inflammation levels?
    A. Couples who fought.
    B. Couples who fought and did not get enough sleep.
    C. Couples who did not get enough sleep
