Adults who got an average of five hours of sleep nightly were 37% more likely to develop hypertension than those getting six hours (which was the average reported amount of sleep), according to a study of 578 adults. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines say all adults should get between seven and nine hours of sleep every night.
