Blood pressure (BP) dips at night during sleep in healthy individuals but in disturbed sleep, dipping is blunted. However, the impact of chronic insufficient sleep duration, with limited intermittent recovery sleep, on BP dipping is not known. The objective of this study was to examine, in a controlled experimental model, the influence of chronic sleep restriction on BP patterns at night and during the day. In a highly controlled 22-day in-hospital protocol, 45 healthy participants (age 32±2 yrs.; BMI 24±1 kg/m2; 22 men and 23 women) were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: 1) repeated sleep restriction; (4h of sleep/night from 0300–0700 for 3 nights followed by recovery sleep of 8h, repeated 4 times in succession), or 2) a sleep control group (8h/night from 2300-0700). Beat-to-beat BP and polysomnography were recorded and revealed that sleep-associated diastolic blood pressure (DBP) dipping was significantly blunted during all 4 blocks of sleep restriction (p=0.002). Further, DBP was significantly increased for the whole day during the 1st, 2nd and 4th block of sleep restriction (all p<0.01), and systolic blood pressure (SBP) was significantly increased for the whole day during the 1st block of sleep restriction. In conclusion, repeated exposure to significantly shortened sleep blunts sleep-associated BP dipping, despite intermittent catch-up sleep. Individuals frequently experiencing insufficient sleep may be at increased risk for hypertension due to repetitive blunting of sleep-associated BP dipping, and resultant elevations in average circadian BP.
