Is there an association among sleep duration, nap, and stroke? Findings from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study
ConclusionIn this elderly Chinese population, short total sleep duration per 24 h, not merely daytime napping or nighttime sleep, was significantly associated with an increased risk of stroke. Preventive measures for stroke may require a focus on elderly, sedentary individuals who report other health problems.

The association between sleep duration, napping, and stroke stratified by self-health status among Chinese people over 65  years old from the China health and retirement longitudinal study
ConclusionsBoth short and long sleep duration were significantly associated with stroke among individuals who reported poor health. Stroke prevention should be focused on elderly individuals who believe that they have health problems.

The independent and combined association of napping and night sleep duration with stroke in Chinese rural adults
ConclusionThe napping duration and nocturnal sleep duration have independently and jointly effects on stroke in rural populations. More research is required to explore the underlying mechanisms for this relationship.Clinical trial registrationThe Henan Rural Cohort Study has been registered on the Chinese Clinical Trial Register (Registration number: ChiCTR-OOC-15006699) (http://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=11375).

In-hospital diagnosis of sleep apnea in stroke patients using a portable acoustic device
ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that BresoDx is well tolerated and feasible to use in the post-stroke population where it was found to have excellent positive and negative predictive values for the diagnosis of SA.

Cognitive impairment and sleep disturbances after minor ischemic stroke
ConclusionsThe prevalence of PSCI is high after minor ischemic stroke. In particular, attention and working memory and executive function are most commonly impaired. Although the risk factors for PSCI are numerous, shorter total sleep time and degree of hypoxia at night warrant further attention.

Acute stroke and TIA patients have specific polygraphic features of obstructive sleep apnea
ConclusionStroke patients had different characteristics of respiratory events, i.e., their polygraphic phenotype of  OSA differs compared to matched reference patients. The observed differences in polygraphic features might indicate that stroke and TIA patients suffer from OSA phenotype recently associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. Therefore, optimal diagnostics and treatment require routine OSA screening in patients with acute cerebrovascular disease, even without previous suspicion of OSA.

Sleep-disordered breathing and cerebral small vessel disease —acute and 6 months after ischemic stroke
In conclusion, 6  months after stroke, AHI decreased, but 44% still had AHI ≥ 15. Persistent SDB in both the acute state and at follow-up was associated with a higher SVD score, but not to the TOAST subgroups. SDB evaluation should be offered to stroke patients, and the effect of SDB on cerebral small vessel disease needs to be further investigated using the well-defined SVD score.Trial registrationclinicaltrials.gov NCT02111408, April 11, 2014

Restless legs syndrome/Willis –Ekbom disease among patients with resistant hypertension versus stroke patients—a prospective study
ConclusionThis study demonstrated a  high prevalence of RLS among patients with resistant hypertension. RLS characteristics are different from those in patients with stroke, and very similar to primary RLS.

Adherence to positive airway pressure therapy initiated in the early subacute phase of ischemic stroke: a PRESS study follow-up
ConclusionsLess than half of the stroke subjects remained adherent to PAP therapy at 6  months post-PAP initiation. Special attention to support adaptation and adherence to PAP treatment is needed in this group of patients.

Up-to-date advance in the relationship between OSA and stroke: a narrative review
ConclusionBoth the onset and recurrence of stroke closely correlated with OSA, but the specific mechanisms remain unclear. Further studies should be carried out to explore effective treatments in patients with stroke and OSA.
