5 Nighttime Habits That Could Raise Your Stroke Risk

Blood pressure naturally dips at night, but some people experience “non-dipping,” where it stays high.

Risk factors like untreated hypertension, smoking, or caffeine late in the evening can contribute.

Monitoring nighttime blood pressure and addressing spikes with lifestyle changes or medical guidance is key.

💡 Tips for Safer Nights:

Eat light, balanced dinners a few hours before bed.

Limit alcohol and caffeine in the evening.

Maintain a consistent sleep schedule and aim for 7–9 hours of restorative sleep.

Monitor blood pressure regularly and follow medical advice if it tends to spike at night.

Making these small adjustments can significantly reduce your overnight stroke risk and improve overall heart and brain health.
