Frequent Napping Linked to High Blood Pressure and Stroke Risk, Study Finds
The study concluded that the analyses proved that increased daytime nap frequency may be a responsible risk factor for essential hypertension. The cause and effect relationship of increased nap frequency with ischemic stroke was further supported by both the randomized and observational results.released by the American Heart Association, the author of the study, E Wang, Ph.D., M.D.
“This may be because, although taking a nap itself is not harmful, many people who take naps may do so because of poor sleep at night. Poor sleep at night is associated with poorer health, and naps are not enough to make up for that," said Michael A. Grandner, Ph.D., MTR, a sleep expert and co-author of the, which added sleep duration in June 2022 as the 8th metric for measuring optimal heart and brain health.
As with any study, there are some limitations that are important to consider. For example, researchers only collected daytime napping frequency, not duration, so there is no information how or whether the length of nap affects blood pressure or stroke risks. Additionally, nap frequency was self-reported without any objective measurements, making estimates inmensurable. The study’s participants were mostly middle-aged and elderly with European ancestry, so the results may not be generalizable.
