Does lack of sleep cause high blood pressure?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
Yes, chronic sleep deprivation is linked to increased blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk. Sleep helps regulate stress hormones and nervous system function. Adults should aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep nightly. Sleep apnea, which disrupts sleep, is particularly associated with hypertension.
