Pleasant reading should not raise the blood pressure. Mental stress (as from complex arithmetic) can raise the blood pressure several points - just how much (or if at all) depends on the individual.
Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure are important. Outdated thinking was that the diastolic blood pressure is more important, but doctors no longer believe this. Blood pressure normally declines during sleep.

Abnormal elevated blood pressure is above 140/90. Of course, the higher above this number the blood pressure is, the more serious the condition.
Blood pressure normally declines with sleep.
