The Strong Connection Between Sleep and Blood Pressure
Sleep plays a major role in cardiovascular health, including the regulation of blood pressure. When sleep is healthy and restorative, the body naturally lowers blood pressure overnight as part of its recovery process.
However, poor sleep quality, insufficient sleep, and untreated sleep disorders can interfere with this process and contribute to uncontrolled hypertension (HTN).
For many people, sleep issues may be an overlooked reason why blood pressure remains elevated despite treatment.
