Poor rest can lead to elevated blood pressure, especially if you stay up late and have poor rest for a long time, which can be serious. Chronic sleep deprivation is an important factor in hypertension, and cardiovascular disease is indeed associated with sleep disorders. If sleep is short, the nervous system does not get enough rest and is chronically excited, it raises the average level of blood pressure and heart rate, increasing the stress on the cardiovascular system. Some studies have shown that the most stressed young and middle-aged people who sleep less than six hours a night on average are more than twice as likely to develop hypertension than those who get enough sleep, and even when factors such as obesity and diabetes are taken into account, there is still an important link between sleep deprivation and hypertension. Long-term poor rest can lead to negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, and sympathetic excitability increases at this time, so people who originally suffered from hypertension have greater fluctuations in blood pressure the next day, or have difficulty controlling their blood pressure. Patients with hypertension are more important to maintain adequate sleep, pay attention to maintain a reasonable rest, and at the same time to regulate emotions. Another point is that poor rest should be looked for on a case-by-case basis, whether it is due to stress leading to psychological reasons, or due to sleep apnea syndrome. Long-term poor rest is an important factor in the occurrence of hypertension, and for patients with hypertension, reasonable rest plays an important role in good blood pressure control.
