Özet: Sleep is well defined as an important contributor to health. Sleep duration, mostly short sleep, and sleep quality have been assessed as being related to cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between perceived stress levels, sleep duration and sleep quality in connection with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular (arterial hypertension) and endocrine diseases (type 2 diabetes mellitus). Thirty-four patients diagnosed with arterial hypertension and 35 patients with type 2 diabetes were assessed. The MOS: SS, the perceived stress scale, and pulse wave velocity were determined with applanation to nometry. The results of the study are discussed in relation to the significance of perceived stress levels and established sleep disturbances with respect to pulse wave velocity in patients with arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
