Summary

The goal of this study is to test the efficacy of a behavioral sleep extension intervention on sleep duration, cardio-metabolic disease risk factors, and health behaviors among adults with elevated blood pressure/hypertension and short sleep duration.

Detailed description

Half of U.S. adults have at least one cardio-metabolic disease (CMD), including hypertension (HTN), heart disease, stroke, or diabetes. Even with advances in screening, education, and medication management, controlling these chronic diseases remains challenging. Despite the well-established negative effects of short sleep duration, surprisingly few studies have tested the benefits of sleep extension and even fewer studies evaluate the science of sleep extension interventions. Therefore, the goal of this study is to test the efficacy of a behavioral sleep extension intervention on sleep duration, CMD risk factors, and health behaviors among adults with elevated BP/HTN and short sleep duration.

Conditions

• Elevated Blood Pressure
• Habitual Sleep Duration of Less Than or Equal to 7 Hours
