Abstract

There is a serious need to develop preventative strategies reducing night-shift workers' risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. I developed an animal model of disrupted sleep and found when rats had abnormal sleep patterns, overall sleep quality (quantified by delta power in the electroencephalogram) suffered and blood pressure increased significantly.

Blood pressure and restorative sleep intensity are altered by chronic daytime sleep disruption in rats
