Daytime naps increase stroke risk....

Scientists have warned that nodding off during the day has a number of serious health risks as it can also be an early warning sign of high blood pressure.

The findings are based on 360,000 Brits between the ages of 40 and 69 who were tracked over the course of 11 years and provide a grim conclusion for those who sleep during the day.

Professor E Wang, from China's Central South University, said: "These results are especially interesting since millions of people might enjoy a regular or even daily nap."

Dr. Michael A. Grandner, a sleep expert at the University of Arizona, says that naps are "not enough" to make up for a lack of rest at night.

He said: "This study echoes other findings that generally show that taking more naps seems to reflect increased risk for problems with heart health and other issues."

Not good news for those like me who like a nap.......

Good reason to take your blood pressure, easy to take it yourself at the doctors

I will still enjoy my heat related naps

Almost everything we do increases the risk of something.

I have never been able to sleep during the day, even if I've had a bad night. I envy those who can just sleep on demand.

A lot of this will depend on the reason why you are napping. If you are napping for example because you are not getting quality of sleep at night because of undignosed sleep apnea for example Then of course you are a higher risk. Also other studies have shown that an afternoon nap is good for you and has health benefits.

Given that practically everything is deemed “bad” for us these days……I think I’ll take my chances and snooze away. If I need sleep, I’ll take it.

The constant stream of fear over things that could kill us is exhausting.

Reminds of the list floating on the internet of things Daily Mail say gives you cancer, which contradicts itself, I.e. being white, being black, being a woman, being a man...

This doesnt say napping increases stroke risk.

It says consistently dozing off could be a sign of high blood pressure, which in turn increases risk of stroke.

Classic case of a clickbait article twisting words to attract clicks.
