“Effect of unwilling sleep”
2008-02-26 16:30:50 (GMT) (Caymanmama.com - Health News News)CNN reported that too much daytime sleepiness in older adults might envisage a considerably increased danger of stroke.
Large number of people, from time to time, inadvertently snoozes off at the couch while reading a book or watching television or even when blocked in traffic jam while driving. But constant sleepiness during the day generally indicates a chronic sleep deficit, and some other greater problems.
However, the new studies have shown that individuals who experience “significant dozing”, those who always almost fell asleep unwillingly during the day time have 4.5 times more chances to get a stroke than the people who don’t have the habit of dozing. The connection between stroke and sleepiness was dose-dependent: as the more the sleepier the person is, the greater the threat of stroke he has. Where as people who very rarely fell asleep but not always while sitting quietly or watching TV have 2.6 greater risk of getting stroke than their most attentive peers.
However, the research have mainly emphasized on people who suffer from the problem of sleep apnea, which is a disorder that causes problem while breathing or shallow breaths while sleeping.
Though, Bernadette Boden-Albala, lead author of the present study and assistant professor of neurology at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, says that sleep deficiency is related to an array of conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity that might also give birth to vascular risk. Boden-Albala also said “There’s more to it than just sleep apnea but we need to figure out why.”
