Abstract
Hypertension (HTN) and disturbed sleep are prevalent problems among on-duty firefighters, and lifestyle modifications are difficult for firefighters to sustain. Our pilot data suggest the intervention using environmental modifications improves sleep quality and reduces HTN prevalence, and may be a sustainable intervention for firefighters to maintain.
