JAKARTA - Increased blood pressure in the morning is a natural thing, and is commonly referred to as the morning surge. This condition occurs due to the body's circadian rhythm reaching its peak a few hours after waking up.

The causes include increased cortisol/adrenaline hormones, lack of sleep, lack of drug control, high sodium intake, and stress. High blood pressure in the morning if it occurs continuously and is not well controlled can be fatal.

Therefore, it is important to prevent increased blood pressure, which can start at night. Such as by consuming the following three drinks before going to bed, which is said to help lower blood pressure when waking up in the morning.

1. Beet juice

Quoted from Times of India, on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, research shows that consuming beetroot juice every day, especially at night, can help reduce systolic blood pressure by 7 to 12 mmHg, among people with hypertension.

The natural nitrate in beet juice allows the body to produce nitric oxide through conversion. The vasodilatory effect of nitric oxide allows for better blood circulation, which reduces the force that the arteries have to hold.

2. Chamomile tea

The main factor that causes high blood pressure in many people is stress. Stress can make a person difficult or lack of sleep which causes an increase in blood pressure in the morning.

However, by consuming chamomile tea, a person can cultivate a peaceful and calm environment, which is conducive to sleep. This improvement in sleep quality can play an important role in helping to lower blood pressure levels over time.

In addition, chamomile's natural antioxidants can also help reduce inflammation and support heart health. This contributes to healthier blood pressure.

3. Milk

Milk, specifically low-fat milk also serves as an effective evening drink for people who want to control their blood pressure. Several studies show that people who drink milk regularly experience lower systolic blood pressure, which reaches 10 mmHg below non-milk consumers.

This can happen because the minerals, calcium, potassium and magnesium in milk help blood vessels relax, while maintaining the right fluid balance.
