High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a common health concern that affects many individuals. Lack of sleep is one of the factors that can contribute to high blood pressure. It is essential to take necessary measures to manage hypertension and improve sleep quality. ( I hope you mean per night it would be better) Start with regular sleep and avoiding caffeine and alcohol before bed.

There is definitely a correlation between sleep and high blood pressure. Lifestyle changes are always needed and involve diet, physical exercise, optimal weight and proper sleep. Sometimes blood pressure is elevated secondary to another medical condition and work up might be needed, start with your primary care doc.
