Take long naps? Sleep more than nine hours a night? Your stroke risk may be higher

People who take long naps during the day or sleep 9 or more hours at night may have an increased risk of stroke. People who took a regular midday nap lasting more than 90 minutes were 25% more likely to later have a stroke than people who took a regular nap lasting from one to 30 minutes. People who took no naps or took naps lasting from 31 minutes to 1 hour were no more likely to have a stroke than people who took naps lasting from one to 30 minutes. “More research is needed to understand how taking long naps and sleeping longer hours at night may be tied to an increased risk of stroke, but previous studies have shown that long nappers and sleepers have unfavorable changes in their cholesterol levels and increased waist circumferences, both of which are risk factors for stroke,” said study author Xiaomin Zhang, MD, PhD, of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China. “In addition, long napping and sleeping may suggest an overall inactive lifestyle, which is also related to increased risk of stroke.”
