Sleep disturbances and their potential association with stroke remains understudied at a population level. We sought to determine the prevalence of sleep disturbances among people who have effects of stroke compared with the general population. ⋯ Self-report of having effects of stroke was associated with increased prevalence of sleep disturbances compared with the general population. Sleep disturbances were reported by a high proportion of respondents with effects of stroke, indicating the importance of screening for related disorders.
