THURSDAY, July 17 (HealthDay News) -- Sleeping either too much or too little appears to heighten the risk of stroke, a new study finds.
And while the researchers said their findings can be applied only to the postmenopausal women in the study, other experts said the same relationship between sleep and stroke risk seems to be universal.
The study of more than 93,000 women found that those who regularly slept more than nine hours a night had a 60 percent to 70 percent higher risk of stroke than women sleeping seven hours.
