The patients' sleep was evaluated by Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). RESULTS Compared to non-dipper BP rhythm patients (n = 382) and dipper BP rhythm patients (n = 132), reverse dipper patients (n = 492) exhibited higher PSQI score and had higher scores on six components with the exception of use sleep drug (p
