Over the course of six years, there were 1,438 definite and 119 probable stroke cases among those asked, and those who said they slept nine or more hours a night were 23% more likely to go on to have a stroke than those who slept less than eight hours per night. If someone is regularly sleeping for nine hours or more a night and still feels the need to have a two-hour nap during the day, that could be a sign that something else is going on – we’re all tired, but that level of exhaustion doesn’t sound great.
