Your risk of stroke is 72% higher during these 3 hours of the day

The morning rush often feels like a crisis. For our hearts and brains, it is also the riskiest time of day.

A meta-analysis of nearly 12,000 adult stroke patients found that people were 72 percent more likely to have a stroke between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. compared to the remaining 21 hours of the day. Every type of stroke studied had a morning spike – whether caused by clots, bleeding or even “mini-strokes” called transient ischemic attacks.
