Study Finds Strokes Linked to Long Sleep Hours
A large study shows death rates from strokes and coronary heart disease rise with longer nightly sleep.

Women aged 50 to 59 faced an 89 percent higher coronary death rate. The author notes no definitive cause yet, suggesting extended sleep may reflect drowsiness from reduced brain blood flow or less active time.
