Key result
Self-reported persistent insomnia and abnormal sleep duration were associated with significantly higher variability in home-measured blood pressure and heart rate.

Do self-reported sleep disorders (insomnia and abnormal sleep duration) increase variability in home-measured blood pressure and heart rate in adults?
Self-reported sleep disorders are associated with greater variability in home blood pressure and heart rate, highlighting the potential utility of evaluating sleep and home BP/HR in clinical practice to identify at-risk patients.
Johansson et al. (2011) conducted a cross-sectional in Sleep disorders (n=1,908). Self-reported insomnia and abnormal sleep duration vs. No insomnia and normal sleep duration was evaluated on Variability in home-measured blood pressure and heart rate. Self-reported persistent insomnia and abnormal sleep duration were associated with significantly higher variability in home-measured blood pressure and heart rate.
