Summary
Insomnia is a common sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or both, despite appropriate opportunities for getting sleep. Growing evidence has associated insomnia with prevalent and incidence of hypertension. However, the impact of the pharmacologic treatment of insomnia on office blood pressure (BP) and 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) in unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of eszopiclone, a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic that binds to certain subunits of the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptors GABA-A (such as 1, 3, and 5) promoting relaxation and sleep. Eszopiclone is an FDA-approved treatment for insomnia in those who have difficulty falling asleep and for patients with difficulty staying asleep (sleep maintenance).
