According to researchers, sleep problems, such as snoring and sleeping too much or too little, may be associated with an increased risk of stroke. According to study results snoring during sleep, poor sleep quality, and sleep apnea may also be associated with an increased risk of stroke. Recent study findings suggest that sleep disorders should be a focus for stroke prevention. The researchers examined nearly 4,500 individuals for the study, including more than 2,200 stroke survivors. The investigators discovered that those who slept less than five hours were three times more likely to suffer a stroke than those who slept an average of seven hours. Long sleepers were twice as likely to experience a stroke as those who slept for seven hours. In addition, people who napped for more than an hour were 88% more likely to experience a stroke than those who did not. In addition, those who snore during sleep are 91% more likely to experience a stroke than those who do not. Individuals with sleep apnea are nearly three times more likely to suffer a stroke than individuals who do not experience breathing disruptions during sleep.
