Answers:
The prevalence of hypertension has increased over the past decade despite improvements in awareness, treatment, and control of the disease!. During this same time period, the average sleep duration in the Singapore has steadily declined and has been fueled by increased opportunities to engage in activities that compete for the time allotted to sleep!. (so you are not the only one facing hypertension problem)!.

There is evidence to suggest that the increasing prevalence of hypertension and the decline in average sleep time are related!. Sleep deprivation studies of both normotensive and hypertensive subjects have shown significant increases in blood pressure and sympathetic nervous system activity after nights where sleep was restricted to 3!.6 to 4!.5 hours!. Short sleep duration also has been shown to increase the risk for the incidence of myocardial infarction in women, possibly as a consequence of increased blood pressure!. Prolonged exposure to short sleep duration could function to develop and maintain hypertension and its vascular and cardiac complications!. Blood pressure and heart rate follow a diurnal pattern with the lowest values occurring during sleep!. Blood pressure gradually falls with the onset of sleep and then remains low until the moment of awakening, when it promptly rises!.

While normotensive subjects sleep, their blood pressure dips by an average 10% to 20%, whereas in hypertensive subjects, this diurnal profile is generally preserved but at a higher level of blood pressure!. Sleeping fewer hours per night would, therefore, function to raise average 24-hour blood pressure and heart rate!. Shorter sleep duration would also result in longer exposures to elevated sympathetic nervous system activity and to waking physical and psychosocial stresses!. Increased exposure to stress has been shown to promote salt appetite and suppress renal salt-fluid excretion!. Long-term exposure to increased total 24-hour hemodynamic load associated with short sleep duration could lead to structural adaptations, such as arterial and left ventricular hypertrophic remodeling, that gradually reset the entire cardiovascular system to operate at an elevated pressure equilibrium!.

Sleep apnea has long been known to be associated with hypertension and cardiovascular disease!. Obesity accounts for a significant proportion of this association, because it is highly comorbid with sleep apnea and is a significant risk factor for hypertension!.

I suggest to just lie in your bed and close your eyes!. After a while your body will realize you need more sleep and will help you develop a more calm personality during the day!. Just realize how comfortable you are and just enjoy the time you have in bed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

but if you have sleep apnea, where you wake up hundreds of times in the night, you can develop hypertension!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
