Nighttime shift work is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, including hypertension. Increased sleep variability and circadian disruption may increase sympathetic activity and waking blood pressure (BP), potentially constraining typical BP reductions during overnight sleep. However, the relationships between circadian phase, sleep variability, and overnight BP reduction (dipping) among day vs. chronic nightshift workers is unknown.
