Key result
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring significantly reduced subjective sleep quality scores (5.3 vs 7.3; P<0.0001) compared to nights without monitoring, though objective parameters were similar.

Does ambulatory blood pressure monitoring alter subjective and objective sleep quality in patients tested at home?
Absolute Event Rate: 5.3% vs 7.3%
p-value: p=<0.0001
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring adversely affects subjective sleep quality, particularly in good sleepers, but does not significantly alter objective sleep parameters measured by actigraphy.
Tropeano et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Hypertension or white-coat hypertension (n=70). Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring vs. Night without ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was evaluated on Subjective sleep quality score (p=<0.0001). Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring significantly reduced subjective sleep quality scores (5.3 vs 7.3; P<0.0001) compared to nights without monitoring, though objective parameters were similar.
