Summary

This study tests whether a mobile health program that helps children sleep longer can lower their blood pressure. Ten children recently diagnosed with essential hypertension who sleep 7.5 hours or less on school nights will use a sleep tracker and receive guidance to extend their sleep. The goal is to see if more sleep can reduce or resolve their high blood pressure.
