The time of day that strokes usually occur is between the hours of 6:00 AM and 12:00 PM.
This is also known as the circadian variation of stroke onset.
The reason why strokes often occur in the morning are due to circadian fluctuations in blood pressure and heart rate which can contribute to a higher risk of stroke in the morning.
Atrial fibrillation episodes may also lead to the higher risk of stroke in the morning and also your cortisol levels are the highest when you awaken in the morning and can also contribute to the risk of stroke.
Your PA1 levels are also highest when you wake up which can also contribute to your risk of stroke.
Strokes can also occur during sleep and obstructive sleep apnea can also increase the risk of having a stroke during sleep.
Thrombotic strokes are strokes that are caused by blood clots which develop in the arteries that supply blood to your brain.
And Lacuna infarcts are strokes which occur in the small blood vessels in your brain.
The 4 silent signs of a stroke are issues with cognitive skills and ability, temporary loss of muscle movement including bladder issues, sudden lack of balance and rapid change in personality and mood.

Some people who have a stroke will experience symptoms such as headache, numbness or tingling several days before they have a serious stroke.
A study found that 43% of stroke patients experienced mini-stroke symptoms up to a week before they had a major stroke.
A stroke which is also called a brain attack is a condition that occurs when something blocks blood supply to part of the brain or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts.
In either case, parts of the brain become damaged or die.
A stroke can cause lasting brain damage, long-term disability, or even death.
It is possible to still have a stroke while on blood thinners although the blood thinners can help to lower your risk of a stroke, heart attack etc.
Unfortunately, blood thinners can reduce the risk of clot-related stroke only to increase the risk of stroke related to bleeding and blood vessel rupture.
