Blood pressure dipping and sleep quality in the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Nondipping blood pressure (BP) is associated with higher risk for hypertension and advanced target organ damage. Insomnia is the most common sleep complaint in the general population. We sought to investigate the association between sleep quality and insomnia and BP nondipping cross-sectionally and longitudinally in a large, community-based sample.

Methods

A subset of the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort (n = 502 for cross-sectional analysis and n = 260 for longitudinal analysis) were enrolled in the analysis. Polysomnography measures were used to evaluate sleep quality. Insomnia symptoms were obtained by questionnaire. BP was measured by 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring. Logistic regression models estimated cross-sectional associations of sleep quality and insomnia with BP nondippi
