Question
C. Blood Pressure
Your asleep blood pressure is the blood pressure that matters. The time you want your blood
pressure to be LOW, is not when you've visiting your doctor, you need it to be low, when you're
SLEEPING.
High blood pressure, it's a killer. No doubt about this. But, as with all things biological, it's
complicated, because your blood pressure is going to move up and down, all day.
High blood pressure can be a good thing.
In fact, high blood pressure is lauded as a health move, that's why we're all encouraged to go to
the gym, where it's good to have it up, momentarily. But if it is up, when you visit your doctor, well,
then it is BAD. And if it's consistently up, in the doctor's office it gets you a diagnosis of
HYPERTENSION. And more often than not, a drug prescription. Because, as I said, high blood
pressure is a KILLER.
It's all about the timing
But it is important to realize that high blood pressure is A KILLER, when it happens AT THE
WRONG TIME. And this is the caveat. The time you want your blood pressure to be LOW, is not
when you've visiting your doctor per se. You need it to be low, when you're SLEEPING. In fact, this
is what your blood pressure SHOULD LOOK LIKE over a 24-hour period.

There is a jolly big spike, when you get out of bed, and your blood pressure remains quite high for
the first few hours of your day. Then it takes a dip, in the afternoon, reaching its lowest point in the
day, in the late afternoon, before climbing for a second time, early in the evening. Once you're
tucked in bed, it should take a nose dive, dropping somewhere between 10 and 20 %. You might
or might not be following this pattern.
Dipping into health
When blood pressure is measured over a 24-hour period, this is referred to as ambulatory blood
pressure monitoring, three patterns arise. Here are samples of three different individual.
Let's call them Dick (1), Tom (2) and Harry (3).

Dick and Tom- will both have been diagnosed with high blood pressure. Dick, REALLY has a
problem. Tom, NOT SO MUCH.
NOTE: He is likely taking blood pressure lowering meds, probably un-necessarily, they're costing
a fortune and putting him at risk of other health problems. Remember, drugs always have side
effects. What about Harry?
Masked hypertension
Well, if his doctor didn't do the ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, he would have been
slapped on the back, with a jolly well done, your blood pressure is NORMAL. But, it's NOT. This
guy is in T-R-O-U-B-L-E. Serious TROUBLE! More and more scientific studies, show the risk from
high blood pressure, is coming when blood pressure is high, when you're "sleeping".
You want to be a dipper
Unfortunately, to know whether you are or not, will require more than the blood pressure
reading taken at home or in your doctor's office. You need to be strapped up to a device that can
monitor your blood pressure over a 24-hour period and then report on your blood pressure, in the
middle of the night. The technology does exist. And using it to diagnose high blood pressure, is
actually recommended by most health authorities, but it's not always done.
It's expensive and inconvenient, etc.
But, if you're worried about cardiovascular disease, your asleep blood pressure, is the reading that
REALLY matters. And if this reading is high, this is the number you should be working to improve.
Asleep blood pressure is the target
So how do you do this? Well, it probably doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out, if you want
your blood pressure to be low at night, you need to be doing what you can, to keep your body's
clock in sync with the sun. Sleep, exposure to light and the timing of your meals, are just some of
the leavers you can pull, to improve your circadian rhythm. If you are taking blood pressure
lowering meds, you want to take them, so they do their thing, at night, because this is the time, you
need them.
