A new study shows a correlation between regular napping and a higher risk of high blood pressure and stroke.
, a biomedical database featuring information about approximately 500,000 U.K. participants aged 40 to 69. These participants routinely provided the Biobank team with samples of their blood, urine and salvia, as well as their responses to regular surveys about their health and health-related habits.
Researchers found that the participants who normally took naps had higher likelihoods of high blood pressure and strokes. They also discovered that a person’s risk of high blood pressure increased by about 40 percent if their napping frequency increased from “never” to “sometimes,” or from “sometimes” to “usually.”
