How much affect on blood pressure of insomnia i only can sleep 4 to 5 hours and some time less.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: It is recommended you try to get 7.5 to 8 hours a night. Sleep is an important part of our health promoting recovery and rest. Blood pressure can be affected by lack of sleep, whether it is via sleep apnea, and even to some extent by insomnia. Improve sleep hygiene by regularizing and extending your sleep time. A sleep doctor evaluation is recommended if you cannot sleep properly. Hope that helps!
