TWIW 43: Long naps linked to stroke
from This Week In Wellness Hosted by The Wellness Couch
This Week In Wellness people who nap longer than 90 minutes, people who sleep longer than 9 hours and people who sleep poorly are all at increased risk of stroke according to a study in Neurology, the online journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Whilst napping for less than an hour seemed fine, those napping for over 90 minutes had a 25% increase in their risk of stroke according to the study. Those sleeping more than 9 hours a night had a 23% increased risk of stroke. And those who rated themselves poor sleepers were 29% more likely to have a stroke. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-12/aaon-tln120919.php https://n.neurology.org/content/early/2019/12/11/WNL.0000000000008739 The post TWIW 43: Long naps linked to stroke appeared first on The Wellness Couch.
