Ischemic stroke usually occurs in the morning before noon; according to the latest data, - most often between 10 and 12 hours. Individuals who snore every night or nearly every night (habitual snoring) have been found to be more at risk of ischemic stroke than those who snore intermittently. Habitual snoring is a common manifestation of obstructive sleep apnea, often associated with being overweight.
