Insufficient sleep
Long-term lack of sleep or poor sleep quality can lead to physical fatigue and decreased immunity, thereby increasing the risk of stroke. Studies have shown that people who sleep less than 6 hours a night have a relatively high risk of stroke.
Poor sleep quality
Frequent waking, difficulty falling asleep, and sleep interruptions can cause fluctuations in blood pressure and heart rate, increasing the risk of stroke. Long-term poor sleep quality can also lead to chronic inflammation and insulin resistance, further increasing the risk of stroke.
Sleep apnea
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that can lead to nocturnal hypoxemia, increase cardiac burden, and raise blood pressure, thereby increasing the risk of stroke.
Emotional fluctuations during sleep
Large emotional fluctuations during sleep, such as anxiety and depression, can cause vascular tension, increase blood pressure, and increase the risk of stroke.
Poor sleep environment
Factors such as noise, too much light, and high temperatures can affect sleep quality, lead to physical dysfunction, and increase the risk of stroke.
