Why the study?
Does 24-hour total sleep deprivation alter blood pressure and muscle sympathetic nerve activity in young healthy men?
Does 24-hour total sleep deprivation alter blood pressure and muscle sympathetic nerve activity in young healthy men?
Total sleep deprivation increases diastolic blood pressure by resetting the arterial baroreflex to a higher set point, despite a decrease in muscle sympathetic nerve activity.
