Some scientists believe that taking daytime naps may increase not only the risk of a stroke, and could be an early sign of dangerous high blood pressure, it may also be linked to Alzheimer’s.
In a paper appearing in the journal Hypertension, the research also showed that nodding off for a snooze in a chair may be a serious matter.
Referring to the research on 360,000 people who were tracked for an average of about 11 years, co-author E. Wang of Xiangya Hospital Central South University of China said: “These results are especially interesting since millions of people might enjoy a regular or even daily nap.”
