Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is seldom considered in the diagnostic investigation in the poststroke period although it is a stroke risk factor and has adverse prognostic implications after stroke.

We hypothesized that patients with stroke report less sleepiness and are less obese than subjects from a community sample with the same severity of OSA.
