Stroke is a dangerous stroke, occurs when the blood supply for the brain is blocked, interrupted or decreased.At this time, brain cells may die from lack of oxygen and nutrients, thereby leading to severe consequences for health, even death.
When it comes to the cause of stroke, people often mention high blood pressure, high blood fat, exercise or have an unhealthy diet.However, few people know that the amount of time we sleep every day can make us closer to this type of dangerous complications.

Sleep less or sleep more prone to stroke?
As recommended by the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an adult should sleep at least 7 hours/ night.However, the agency said that ⅓ Americans did not sleep enough this recommended duration.Meanwhile, every 20 Americans have more than 9 hours/night.
So, those who sleep less and those who sleep a lot, who is more likely to have a stroke?A study published in Neurology magazine in 2023 gave the answer.According to research, both groups of subjects are at higher risk of stroke than the recommended number of people.However, people who sleep are less likely to have a higher risk of stroke than those who sleep.Specifically, while people who sleep more than 9 hours/night are 2 times higher than the stroke than those who sleep 7 hours/night, those who sleep less than 5 hours/night are 3 times higher than the stroke.For those who sleep 7 hours/night.
In addition to sleeping too little or too much, this study also shows that people who have more sleep problems, such as snoring, sniffing, restlessness, waking up at night, the risk of stroke will behigher.This is a study conducted by scientists from Galway University (Ireland).
The relationship between sleep quality and the risk of stroke

Dr. ADI IYER, a neurosurgery of the Pacific Neuroscience Institute of the Providence Saint John Medical Center (USA), said: “A poor quality sleep can lead to changesPhysiology, thereby leading to stroke.However, poor quality sleep can also be a side effect of many risks of stroke such as obesity, alcohol abuse, ... However, sleep problems, includingSleeping duration, a stroke factor can be changed.Doctors should evaluate the quality and duration of the patient's sleep so that there is a solution to solve and prevent stroke. ”Dr. Iyer is the one who does not participate in the research.
Dr. Thomas Kilkenny, Director of the Sleep Medical Institute of Staten Island University Hospital (USA), who does not participate in the study, said 80% of adult sleeps are Non-Rem sleep (sleep.Do not move quickly).During this time, the cardiovascular system is controlled by autonomy nervous system.This nervous system helps reduce blood pressure, heart rate and stress, thereby protecting cardiovascular health.Disregnements such as sleep apnea, insomnia, can weaken the autonomy nervous system and reduce the time of non -remit sleep.
"This can affect cardiovascular recovery and increase tension on this system, thereby increasing the risk of stroke," Dr. Kilkenny added.
