Acute sleep restriction has been shown to increase blood pressure and sympathetic nervous system activity.We investigated the relationships between sleep duration and hypertension among women whose sleep durations were self-reported in 1986 (n 82,130) and 2000 (n 71,658) in the Nurses Health Study I (NHS-I) and in 2001 (n 84,674) in the Nurses Health Study II (NHS-II).After controlling for multiple risk factors in logistic regression models, the prevalence of hypertension was significantly higher among women in all 3 groups who slept 5 hours (odds ratio 1.19, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.141.25) per night compared with 7 hours. In prospective analyses using Cox regression shorter sleep duration of 5 hours per night was significantly associated with a higher incidence of hypertension only in younger women (hazard ratio [HR] 1.20, 95% CI 1.091.31 for those aged < 50 years; HR 1.11, 95% CI 1.001.23 for those aged 5059 years). In both prevalent and incident analyses, results were consistent with obesity acting as a partial mediator. Results were not consistent with diabetes or hypercholesterolemia acting as mediators or with shift work, snoring, menopause, or postmenopausal hormone therapy acting as effect modifiers.Sufficient sleep could represent a lifestyle practice worthy of investigation as an approach to reduce hypertension incidence and prevalence.
