Sleep is supposed to be the body’s way of resting and healing — but for some, it can become their final moment. According to a NewsVista health reporter, several hidden risks make people die suddenly in their sleep without even realizing it. Here are three of the most common but overlooked causes:

The heart’s electrical system can sometimes misfire during sleep, stopping blood flow to the brain in seconds. Many victims show no warning signs and never wake up.
