If you are lucky enough to sleep more than 9 hours a night, you will have earned. On the other hand, a recent study in the journal Neurology claims that people who sleep nine hours or more at night are 23 percent more likely to have a stroke than people who sleep less than eight hours a night.

The study, which included more than 30,000 Chinese at an average age of 62 and no history of stroke or other health problems, also found that those who slept over a 90-year lunch also had a 25 percent increased risk of stroke later in life, compared to those who were less drowsy. No time or no sleep at all.

To the full article

It is estimated that 15 million people worldwide experience a brain event each year. Nearly 6 million of them die as a result, and 5 million continue to live with disabilities. The list of risk factors for stroke is long and includes lifestyle elements, which include smoking, drinking alcohol, and up to existing conditions, such as diabetes, excess cholesterol and high blood pressure.

Research author Dr. Xiamin Zhang said, "More research is needed to understand how long midday naps and longer hours of sleep at night may be associated with an increased risk of stroke." Previous research has shown that long sleep can increase cholesterol and waist circumference - Both are risk factors for stroke.

In addition, long sleep times may indicate an inactive lifestyle, which is also associated with an increased risk of stroke. Those who tend to sleep more may have done so because of health problems - which explains the higher risk of stroke.

Monitored study participants for an average of six years and included questions about their sleep and sleep habits. The findings showed that 8 percent of respondents caught lunches lasting more than 90 minutes, while 24 percent said they slept nine hours or more at night. Results were weighed after taking into account other variables that could affect the risk of stroke, including high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking. During the study, 1,557 stroke cases occurred among respondents.

The findings showed that for those who slept for at least nine hours a night, or who slept for 90 minutes a day, one percent a year experienced a brain event, compared to 0.7 percent of people who reported sleeping seven to eight hours a night, or having no sleep at all. The most striking figure, perhaps, was that people who slept for more than 9 hours and also dozed off at noon for more than 90 minutes a day were 85 percent more likely to have a stroke than those who slept moderately.

In the end, sleep quality also seemed to play a role - people who reported poor sleep quality were 29 percent more likely to have a stroke than their reportedly good quality of sleep.
