Regular bedtimes could help lower blood pressure, study shows
Maintaining a consistent bedtime can significantly lower a person’s blood pressure for the entire day, according to a new study. Participants in the small proof-of-concept study experienced clinically significant average blood pressure reductions after just 2 weeks of going to sleep at the same time each night. The cardiovascular system, and blood pressure, are tightly tied to one’s sleep/wake cycle and internal clock. As a result, consistent sleep habits result in less disruption for the system to accommodate.
