一項大規模新研究發現，經常小睡的人患高血壓和中風的風險更高。

Study participants who typically napped during the day were 12% more likely to develop high blood pressure over time and were 24% more likely to have a stroke compared with people who never napped.

與從不小睡的人相比，白天經常小睡的人隨著時間的推移，患高血壓的可能性增加12%，中風的可能性增加24%。

If the person was younger than age 60, napping most days raised the risk of developing high blood pressure by 20% compared with people who never or rarely nap, according to the study published Monday in Hypertension, an American Heart Association journal.

週一發表在美國心臟協會《高血壓》期刊上的一項研究稱，在60歲以下人群中，經常小睡者患高血壓的風險，比從不小睡或很少小睡的人增加20%。

The results held true even after researchers excluded people at high risk for hypertension, such as those with type 2 diabetes, existing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep disorders and who did night-shift work.

即使研究人員排除了高血壓高危人群，如患2型糖尿病、高血壓、高膽固醇、睡眠障礙和夜班工作的人群，研究結論仍然成立。
