According to the World Stroke Organization, approximately one in four people is expected to have a stroke sometime in their life. Many people fear stroke and the resulting mental and physical disability more than they fear death. Most people don’t realize that this simple activity is connected to up to 68% less stroke, that is sleeping the right amount of hours. An international case control study shows that people that sleep around 7 hours per night have a 68% lower risk of stroke compared to people who sleep 5 hours or less per night. They also found that those who sleep more than 9 hours per night, are associated with double the risk of stroke compared to those who sleep around who sleep 7 hours per night. Of Course other factors like diet and exercise also affect stroke risk, but it’s clear that good sleep plays an important role.
