Researchers from Kyoto University in Japan investigated possible associations of sleep characteristics – such as sleep fragmentation, disordered breathing, and nocturia – with sleep blood pressure (BP). The results of their study were published in The Journal of Hypertension.
Based on their findings, the researchers concluded that subjective sleep estimates and frequent nocturnal urination may represent a potential risk for circadian BP abnormalities.
