UK charity the Blood Pressure Association has responded to the American Medical Association CARDIA Sleep Study - 'Association Between Sleep and Blood Pressure in Midlife', published in Archives of Internal Medicines (volume 169, no. 11)
Mike Rich, Executive Director of UK charity the Blood Pressure Association, said: "This is an interesting study and there's no doubt that all of us, including people who have high blood pressure, feel better after a good night's sleep.
"However, until research is done to show whether getting more sleep can actually reduce the risk of high blood pressure, we'd suggest that this would be no substitute to taking prescribed blood pressure lowering medicines and following a healthy lifestyle."
