Kristen Knutson, an associate professor at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, who was not part of the study, said the findings are consistent with previous research linking insufficient sleep and high blood pressure. And a connection was made between blood vessel damage, which is thought to be a factor in stroke.
The research, published Wednesday in the journal Neurology, reviewed data from more than 4,500 people who participated in a study called Intrastroke. This international study involved people who have suffered a stroke.
About 1,800 people in the study had the most common type of stroke, in which the arteries leading to the brain are blocked. While another 439 people had a haemorrhage, in which a vein or artery in the brain bursts and bleeds into the brain tissue as a result.
According to Dr. Phyllis Zee of Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine (who was also not part of the study), poor sleep can affect natural blood pressure (which occurs during the nighttime hours) and contribute to hypertension ( which is a risk factor for stroke and cardiovascular disease).
