There are several reasons for the growth of interest in the effect of sleep on the cardiovascular system. Because about one third of human life is spent sleeping, a description of the cardiovascular changes accompanying sleep is necessary for a thorough definition of the hemodynamic profile of everyday life. A more thorough understanding of the cardiac, vascular, and humoral effects of sleep may clarify why some cardiovascular events occur less often, and others more often, during sleep than during wakefulness^1,2. Because it arises from events within the central nervous system,³ mammalian sleep serves as a model for studying the . . . [Full Text of this Article]
