Sleep duration, daytime napping, markers of obstructive sleep apnea and stroke in a population of southern China.

ABSTRACT: Sleep habits are associated with stroke in western populations, but this relation has been rarely investigated in China. Moreover, the differences among stroke subtypes remain unclear.
