This study provides novel information regarding the risk of hypertension in insomnia via sleep maintenance difficulties. Findings from this study provide preliminary evidence for examining nighttime fluctuations of blood pressure and concomitant physiological changes (ie, catecholamines, heart rate, and sympathetic activation) due to wake during sleep as a mechanism for subsequent hypertension.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
