Hypertension is one of the primary risk factors for
heart disease
and stroke, the leading causes of death worldwide. Current evidence supports the treatment of high blood pressure (BP) values in order to obtain a substantial reduction of cardiovascular burden. Sleep plays an important role in maintaining nocturnal BP control and nocturnal hypertension which, in turn, can be affected by the presence of
sleep disorders
. Whilst respiratory disturbances have been extensively studied and their causal role in the development of nocturnal hypertension has been demonstrated in both cross sectional and prospective studies, less is known about the impact of other
sleep disorders
such as insomnia. In this review, we aim to describe the role of
sleep disorders
in the development of nocturnal and diurnal hypertension. Furthermore, we aim to discuss the potential impact of the treatment of such
sleep disorders
on BP values as an adjunct treatment for patients with hypertension.
