Those who reported sleeping nine or more hours each night had a 23% higher risk of stroke than those sleeping less than eight hours each night.
Stroke risk was 25% higher among those who took midday naps for at least 90 minutes compared with those napping for less than 30 minutes.
For decades, most sleep researchers have believed that answers about sleep’s most basic functions would be found in the brain. A recent study may redirect their attention to the gut.
