Key result
Total sleep deprivation for 60 hours caused statistically significant but clinically irrelevant circadian oscillations in heart rate and systolic blood pressure, with no changes in diastolic pressure.
Why the study?
Does 60 hours of total sleep deprivation alter heart rate and blood pressure in healthy young adults?
Does 60 hours of total sleep deprivation alter heart rate and blood pressure in healthy young adults?
Total sleep deprivation for 60 hours produces statistically significant but clinically irrelevant circadian variations in heart rate and systolic blood pressure in healthy young adults.

Low cardiovascular risk from 60h sleep loss in healthy adults; extends circadian data but leaves open effects in disease states.
Miró et al. (2002) studied Healthy (n=30). Total sleep deprivation was evaluated on Variations of heart rate (HR) and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP). Total sleep deprivation for 60 hours caused statistically significant but clinically irrelevant circadian oscillations in heart rate and systolic blood pressure, with no changes in diastolic pressure.
