A lack of sleep can raise your blood pressure over time, a new study suggests.Over the course of five years, Kristen L.

Sleep duration was measured using surveys and a sensor worn on the wrist that records periods of rest and activity.
Adults who slept fewer hours than other study participants were significantly more likely to have higher blood pressure readings, the researchers found. more
