Consistent sleep time can strengthen the circadian rhythm which plays a role in regulating blood pressure.The following explanation is quoted from the page

Benefits of sleeping at the same time on blood pressure
In a recent study, going to bed at the same time every night can help lower blood pressure.The researchers reported participants experienced an overall reduction in blood pressure.
“This [regular bedtime] may be a simple, but low-risk, adjunctive strategy for controlling [blood pressure] in many people with hypertension,” the study authors wrote.
The research was conducted on 11 people with hypertension to participate in their study.Seven subjects were female, and four were male.With an age range of 45 to 62 years and an average age of 53 years.
All participants had a body mass index (BMI) that classified them as obese.They had no other chronic health problems.
Before the study, the participants’ sleep time varied each night by an average of 30 minutes.Over the course of the two-week study, that variability decreased to seven minutes.
The participants were instructed to maintain a consistent sleep schedule, sleeping for approximately the same amount of time each night, with no naps.
Their blood pressure was measured constantly for 48 hours in a process known as ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
The researchers reported that a regular sleep schedule reduced participants’ 24-hour systolic blood pressure readings (the top number) by an average of 4 points.Their diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) dropped an average of 3 points.
The researchers said this decrease was primarily due to a decrease in nighttime systolic blood pressure and overall diastolic blood pressure measurements.
They added that more than half of the participants noted a significant reduction in blood pressure.The researchers noted that a 5-point reduction in nighttime blood pressure could reduce the risk of cardiovascular events by more than 10 percent.
Researchers theorize that irregular sleep times disrupt the body’s circadian rhythm, which regulates sleep-wake cycles and cardiovascular function.
They explained that blood pressure normally decreases during a night’s sleep, and people whose blood pressure does not fall sufficiently face higher cardiovascular risks.
“This is a good proof-of-concept study… [but] to be validated, it needs to be tested in a larger randomized control study and over a longer period of time to measure its true effect on blood pressure reduction,” said Nissi Suppogu, MD, a cardiologist and medical director of the Women’s Heart Center at MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute at Long Beach Medical Center, California.
Kin Yuen, MD, a sleep medicine specialist at the University of California, San Francisco, offered some caution about the study.
“This is an interesting concept. However, blood pressure is influenced by so many factors such as nocturnal activity, caring responsibilities, medications, and biological rhythm tendencies, so it is difficult to generalize,” said Kin Yuen.
“For those who tend to have insomnia, increasing awareness of their ‘sleep schedule’ can actually worsen blood pressure due to anxiety before bed,” he added.
Benefits of sleeping at regular times on the body
Sleep quality and quantity not only influence a person’s mental health through mood regulation and cognitive function, but also a person’s physical health through cardiovascular and metabolic disease pathways.
Apart from helping lower blood pressure, consistent quality sleep can also improve your health.Here are some of them:
Improves heart health
Helps maintain or lose weight
Increase concentration and productivity
Maximizes athletic performance
Helps manage emotions
