The onset of some adult diseases, e.g., cardiovascular disease, is known to be associated with lifestyles in childhood. The objective of this study was to clarify the relationship between total sleep duration (TSD) and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) among 117 children at ages 5-6 years. Parents reported their children's typical bedtimes and wake times for weekdays, and questions about mandatory nap times were answered by the preschool teachers. In the children, the mean TSD, SBP, and DBP were 624 +/- 57 (standard deviation) min, 99 +/- 10 mmHg, and 62 19 mmHg, respectively. When the children were divided into quartile groups based on TSD, the SBP was significantly higher in the highest group (TSD > 660 min) than in the lowest group (TSD
