Why does sleeping more than eight or seven hours increase the odds for a stroke?
In: 113
It’s thought to be reverse causation. Those people that are ill and higher risk of strokes, sleep more. When you are ill then your body sleeps more to help it deal with the illness or other issues.
If you took that population and reduced their sleep to less than 7 hours, it’s likely the chance of stroke would actually increase.
