“…The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these effects are at present unknown, but an indirect effect due to an alteration of sleep structure seems unlikely, as the increase in glucose response to OGTT was present even after zolpidem treatment that is known not to impair sleep architecture [6][7][8].…”

“…BZ reduce sleep latency, the number of awakenings, the wakefulness state and the length of stage 1, 3, and 4 while they increase that of stage 2 and modify the latency and length of rapid eyes movements (REM) sleep [4,5]. These alterations seem not to be caused by imidazopyridines, new molecules used as hypnotics able to bind GABA A receptor with a specific selectivity for the BZ 1/omega one subtype [6][7][8]. These molecules reduce sleep latency and extend total sleep time but have little effects on sleep structure [6][7][8].…”

“…Poor sleep quality has been shown to be associated closely with cardiovascular complications and nondipping hypertension [13,14,18]. Silva et al [19] found that nocturnal sleep quality played an important role in BP levels and suggested evaluation of sleep quality in nondipper hypertensive patients.…”

“…In recent studies, it has been reported that poor sleep quality is associated with nondipping hypertension through activation of the sympathetic nervous system, and it was concluded that poor sleep quality and stressful status were independent predictors of nondipping hypertension [13,14]. Although the relationship between sleep quality and a dipping-nondipping pattern has been investigated in hypertensive patients, to our knowledge, it has not been investigated in normotensive individuals previously.…”

“…Benzodiazepines and related drugs increase non-CAP (Parrino et al 1997;Terzano et al 1995), and may be expected to increase stable breathing periods. Zolpidem increases blood pressure dipping (Huang et al 2012), and could do so through the induction of stable NREM periods. The proportion of stable breathing periods will impact the computed apnea-hypopnea index, as these periods do not contribute to the metric.…”
