Abstract
Background: Sleep affects almost every type of tissue and system in the body and chronic lack of sleep can increase the risk for non-communicable diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity. The young adults are getting less sleep due to career aspirations further disturbed by exposure to mobile phones, internet, and social media. The study was planned to know the duration of sleep in these young adults and its effect on their blood pressure (BP).

Aims and Objectives: The present study was aimed to study the relationship between sleep duration and hypertension in young adults.

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 180 voluntarily participating young adults. Sleep duration data were collected through self-reported answers to the questions provided in the working proforma. Detailed information was collected through careful history and physical examination.

Results: Mean age ranged from 18 to 25 years old with mean ± SD 20.3 ± 1.05 for participants with sleep duration <6 h and mean ± SD 20.05 ± 1.12 for participants with 6–8 h’ sleep duration, likewise mean ± SD 20.17 ± 1.25 for participants with sleep duration of >8 h. In the study, systolic and diastolic BP in the participants with sleep duration <6 h compared with participants with 6–8 h’ sleep duration P = 0.51 >0.05, P = 0.74 >0.05 found which is not significant.

Conclusion: The present study although could not establish any statistical relationship between the sleep duration and hypertension. The raised BP among them could be due to various factors, but disturbed sleep could play an important role in development of hypertension. The study provides stimulus and directions for further studies to evaluate the presence of hypertension in young adults.

Key words: Sleep Duration; Young Adults; Hypertension
