Abstract Background : Cardiovascular disease precursors, notably hypertension, are increasingly diagnosed in young adults. While traditional risk factors such as diet, genetics, and physical inactivity are well-established, emerging evidence indicates that lifestyle factors including sleep quality play a critical role in cardiovascular homeostasis. This study investigates the association between subjective and objective sleep quality measures and resting blood pressure parameters among young adults.
Methods : A cross-sectional analytical design was utilized, evaluating 210 young adult participants aged 18 to 26 years. Sleep quality was quantified using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), alongside self-reported sleep duration. Standardized automated blood pressure measurements were taken to record systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP).
Results: Findings revealed a high prevalence of poor sleep quality (PSQI > 5) among participants, recorded at 52.4%. Participants classified as poor sleepers exhibited significantly elevated systolic (118.4 ± 9.2 mmHg vs. 111.1 ± 8.5 mmHg, p < 0.001) and diastolic blood pressures (77.6 ± 6.8 mmHg vs. 71.2 ± 5.9 mmHg, p < 0.001) compared to good sleepers. Regression models confirmed that poor sleep quality and short sleep duration (< 6 hours) were independent predictors of elevated blood pressure after adjusting for body mass index, caffeine consumption, and perceived psychological stress.
Conclusion: Poor sleep quality is strongly associated with elevated blood pressure indices in young adults. Integrating targeted sleep hygiene interventions into early cardiovascular disease prevention strategies is highly warranted

Aim: To assess the association between sleep quality and blood pressure among young adults using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
