Currently no available research assesses the effect of structured sleep education on blood pressure control on hypertensive patients in Nigeria. Further studies are therefore required on this subject in order to draw evidence that is more conclusive from the study.
Longer studies that will involve a community-based approach of population of hypertensive patients for the evaluation of structured sleep education on hypertensive patients and quality of sleep should be carried out.
