BACKGROUND Impaired sleep quality is common and associated with an increased risk of
cardiovascular disease (CVD), thought to be mediated through adverse effects on …

Strong evidence has accumulated over the last several years, showing that low sleep
quantity and/or quality plays an important role in the elevation of blood pressure. We …

Study Objectives: Short sleep duration contributes to hypertension, yet few behavioral sleep
extension interventions have been developed. The goal of our study was to evaluate the …

This review summarizes recent literature addressing the association of short sleep duration,
shift work, and obstructive sleep apnea with hypertension risk, blood pressure (BP) levels …

Sleep quality is an important aspect of sleep, but no meta‐analysis has elucidated its
relationship with blood pressure (BP) and hypertension. A meta‐analysis was conducted in …

Although insufficient sleep is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, evidence of a
causal relationship is lacking. We investigated the effects of prolonged sleep restriction on …

Blood pressure (BP) varies over 24 hours. During normal sleep, BP typically decreases by
10% or more. Research suggests that disordered sleep, particularly sleep deprivation and …

Elucidation of the association between short sleep duration and elevated blood pressure
has implications for assessing and managing hypertension in adults. Objective. To assess …

Objectives: Compelling evidence from laboratory-based and population-based studies link
sleep loss to negative cardiovascular health outcomes. However, little is known about the …

Objective To identify the association between quantified sleep factors and the incidence of
cardiovascular disease (CVD) through a 10-year prospective cohort study. Methods A total …
