Your blood pressure naturally lowers when you sleep. If you don’t get enough sleep, your blood pressure may be altered.
People in their forties and fifties who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to develop high blood pressure. Some people may find it challenging to get a good night’s sleep.
According to the 2010 National Sleep Heart Health Study, sleeping less than 7 hours or more than 9 hours a night was linked to an elevated risk of high blood pressure. Sleeping for less than 5 hours per night consistently has been related to a significant risk of long-term high blood pressure.
