However, the effects of milder, highly prevalent but frequently neglected sleep disturbances, including poor sleep quality and insomnia, on vascular health in women are unclear. We investigated whether poor sleep patterns are associated with blood pressure and endothelial inflammation in a diverse sample of women.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n            <jats:title>Methods and Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">\n              Women who participated in the ongoing American Heart Association Go Red for Women Strategically Focused Research Network were studied (n=323, 57% minority, mean age=39\u00b117\u00a0years, range=20\u201379\u00a0years). Sleep duration, sleep quality, and time to sleep onset were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (score \u22655=poor sleep quality). Risk for obstructive sleep apnea was evaluated using the Berlin questionnaire, and insomnia was assessed using the Insomnia Severity Index. In a subset of women who participated in the basic study (n=26), sleep duration was assessed objectively using actigraphy, and endothelial inflammation was assessed directly in harvested endothelial cells by measuring nuclear translocation of nuclear factor kappa B. Vascular reactivity was measured by brachial artery flow\u2010mediated dilation (n=26). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured by trained personnel (n=323). Multivariable linear regressions were used to evaluate associations between sleep patterns and blood pressure, nuclear factor kappa B, and flow\u2010mediated dilation. Mean sleep duration was 6.8\u00b11.3\u00a0hours\/night in the population study and 7.5\u00b11.1\u00a0hour\/night in the basic study. In the population study sample, 50% had poor sleep quality versus 23% in the basic study, and 37% had some level of insomnia versus 15% in the basic study. Systolic blood pressure was associated directly with poor sleep quality, and diastolic blood pressure was of borderline significance with obstructive sleep apnea risk after adjusting for confounders (\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.04 and\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.08, respectively). Poor sleep quality was associated with endothelial nuclear factor kappa B activation (\u03b2=30.6;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.03). Insomnia and longer sleep onset latency were also associated with endothelial nuclear factor kappa B activation (\u03b2=27.6;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.002 and \u03b2=8.26;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.02, respectively).
