This study investigates how habitual sleep patterns, specifically sleep duration and daytime napping, relate to the risk of stroke and coronary heart disease.
Cohort of 7,844 adults from the First National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Epidemiologic Follow-up Study
Cox proportional hazards analyses conducted during a 10-year follow-up
Evaluated sleep duration and daytime somnolence as factors influencing stroke and coronary heart disease risk.
Risk for stroke increased in those sleeping >8 hours (RR=1.5, 95% CI=1.1 to 2.0) compared to 6-8 hours.
Daytime somnolence linked to higher stroke incidence (RR=1.4, 95% CI=1.1 to 1.8).
Combined >8 hours sleep and daytime somnolence resulted in a higher stroke risk (RR=1.9, 95% CI=1.2 to 3.1).
