Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, Inflammation, and Platelet Energy Metabolism in Chronic Stroke Survivors

Systemic inflammation may be related to excessive daytime sleepiness symptoms with a notable effect among women. Future larger studies are needed to further explore the sexually dimorphic relationship of poststroke excessive daytime sleepiness to systemic inflammation. Numerically higher platelet oxygen consumption rates may indicate higher energy demands for stroke survivors with excessive daytime sleepiness.
