Answer 1

If sitting in an office chair all day increases your chance for a stroke, then it makes sense laying in a bed all night increases your chance of a stroke. I’m not entirely convinced 8 hours of sleep makes sense biologically. I think naturally we would have at minimum biphasic sleep, but likely multiphasic sleep patterns.
