An afternoon nap is as good as taking tablets for reducing blood pressure, according to a new study.
‘Based on our findings, if someone has the luxury to take a nap during the day, it may also have benefits for high blood pressure.The study was the first study to prospectively assess midday sleep’s affect on blood pressure levels among people whose blood pressure is reasonably controlled, according to the researchers.
‘By including people with relatively well-controlled blood pressure, we can feel more confident that any significant differences in blood pressure readings are likely due to napping.’ There were no differences in terms of the number of antihypertensive medications taken between the two groups, and pulse wave velocity tests and echocardiograms were also similar.
