Researchers found that those who got less than 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night were more likely to develop high blood pressure over five years than those who slept longer.
Health experts say this study might help explain why higher blood pressure is found in men, and especially African Americans. They say it may be partially due to lack of sleep.
The study is published in the June 8, 2009, issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
