Midday
naps are associated with reduced blood pressure levels and prescription
of fewer antihypertensive medications, according to research presented
at ESC Congress by Dr Manolis Kallistratos, a cardiologist at

this prospective study was to assess the effect of midday sleep on blood
pressure (BP) levels in hypertensive patients.
