  • Sleep disorders other than OSA
  • Shift workers
  • Individuals who typically go to sleep after midnight
  • Individuals who traveled across ≥2 time zones within one week of study visits

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Blood pressure

Time Frame: Baseline

Measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).

Endothelial function

Time Frame: Baseline

Ultrasound assessment of flow-mediated vasodilation of the brachial artery. Brachial artery diameter and blood velocity will be measured after deflation to measure endothelial function.

Arterial stiffness

Time Frame: Baseline

Measured by applanation tonometry reported as aortic pulse wave velocity (m/sec)

Secondary Outcomes

  • Sympathetic nerve burst incidence(Baseline)
  • Sympathetic nerve burst amplitude (AU)(Baseline)
  • Sympathetic nerve burst frequency(Baseline)
  • Total muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA)(Baseline)
