High blood pressure puts extra pressure on internal organs like the heart, brain and kidneys.
Poor sleep can be a sign of high blood pressure, research reveals.
A lack of deep sleep is a particularly strong sign of the condition.
Without deep sleep during the night, people often do not feel refreshed despite sleeping for 7-9 hours.
High blood pressure puts extra pressure on internal organs like the heart, brain and kidneys, all of which worsen sleep.
Lack of sleep, in turn, can make it harder for the body to regulate stress hormones, which leads to high blood pressure.
Signs of poor sleep include more awakenings during the night, shorter sleep duration and sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea causes shallow breathing or breathing to stop for a few seconds during sleep.
