May blunt early nocturnal BP dipping without daytime effects; hypothesis-generating for sleep-BP links in CV risk.
Does selective slow-wave sleep deprivation attenuate nocturnal blood pressure dipping and alter daytime blood pressure regulation in healthy subjects?
Selective slow-wave sleep deprivation attenuates early nocturnal blood pressure dipping but does not impact daytime blood pressure or baroreflex regulation.
