While traditional cardiovascular risk factors are well-established, the potential of irregular sleep patterns as a novel risk factor for heart disease is still not well understood. The objectives were to assess the prevalence of hypertension and its correlation with sleep habits and overall quality of life. We assessed the socio-clinical sleep quality index, health-related quality of life, and the factors linked to individuals with high blood pressure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The outcome variables were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) instrument and the MINICHAL scale. Settings and Design: This cross-sectional study involved 252 hypertensive patients in a tertiary care hospital in India selected using purposive sampling. Statistical analysis used: The relationship between sleep quality index (SQI) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) was assessed using Spearman\u2019s correlation coefficient. The relationship between socio-clinical variables, SQI, and HRQOL was analyzed using the Chi-square or Fisher\u2019s exact test.
