Hi,
Any physical or mental stress including decreased sleep can result in an increase in blood pressure. I would suggest that you should take adequate sleep of atleast 6-7 hrs in 24 hrs.
Also get your blood investigations done especially Lipid profile, Thyroid profile, and Kidney Function Test.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
