Hypertension is a highly common condition with well-established adverse consequences. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring has repeatedly been shown to better predict cardiovascular outcomes and mortality, compared to single office visit blood pressure. Non-dipping of sleep-time blood pressure is an independent marker for increased cardiovascular risk. We review blood pressure variability and the challenges of blood pressure monitoring during sleep. Although pathological sleep such as obstructive sleep apnea has been associated with non-dipping of sleep-time blood pressure, blood pressure is not routinely measured during sleep due to lack of unobtrusive blood pressure monitoring technology. Second, we review existing noninvasive continuous blood pressure monitoring technologies. Lastly, we propose including sleep-time blood pressure monitoring during sleep studies and including sleep studies in patients undergoing ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
