The purpose of this study is to test the accuracy of a new method for patients to monitor their blood pressure at home that includes blood pressure measurements while asleep. We will also determine if patients prefer this new home blood pressure monitoring method compared with the current standard of care of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
