SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 weeks

Population: Patients who were satisfied with sleep as of 2 weeks

nighttime BPs are measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Sleep quality is measured by self-reported sleep diary (satisfaction level of sleep) at 2 weeks. Patients are divided by sleep satisfaction and compared nighttime SBP change (value at 2 weeks minus value at baseline).
