Cox models were used to investigate the putative associations, adjusting for multiple sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, depression, snoring, sleepiness symptoms, and other cardiovascular disease-related clinical characteristics.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Results\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            At baseline, 8.3% of subjects had reported their sleep duration as \u22645 hours per night and 4.6% reported long duration of sleep (\u22659 hours\/night). After an average of 7.5 years of follow-up, 1166 cases of ischemic stroke had occurred. Multivariable-adjusted relative risk (RR) and 95% CI for ischemic stroke (using a sleep time of 7 hours\/night as the reference) were 1.14 (0.97, 1.33), 1.24 (1.04, 1.47), and 1.70 (1.32, 2.21) for women reporting \u22646, 8, and \u22659 hours of sleep. A modestly stronger association with sleep duration \u22646 hours per night (RR, 1.22; 1.03, 1.44) was noted among women without prevalent cardiovascular disease at baseline. Our analyses also reveal that the adverse effect of long sleep is likely independent of the increased risk for ischemic stroke associated with frequent snoring and sleepiness (RR, 1.31; 1.00, 1.72).\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            Habitual sleep patterns are important neurobehavioral determinants of risk for ischemic stroke in postmenopausal women.
