Research progress on bidirectional association between insomnia and stroke / 中华神经科杂志

ABSTRACT

Insomnia, as the most common sleep disorder in the population, is often accompanied by depression, anxiety and other mental diseases, which can lead to impaired social and occupational functions as well as decreased quality of life. There is growing evidence that insomnia may be a risk factor for stroke. On the other hand, the incidence of insomnia in stroke patients is significantly higher than that in the general population. Correctly understanding the bidirectional relationship between insomnia and stroke can make clinicians pay more attention to insomnia and its treatment, and increase clinical benefit in patients with stroke and insomnia.
