When I was in the hospital I could fall asleep in the 10 minutes between therapies but still used Ambien at night. This would have been much better. Ask your doctor if this is close enough to real world use to get away from the sleeping pills.

Participants played "pink noise" that was synchronized to their brain
rhythms slept more deeply and had increased memory retention.
PROBLEM:
Out at the fringes of sleep research, small studies have shown that applying a "gentle electric current" can ease the brain into deep sleep,
improving sleep quality and increasing overnight
memory retention. But the potential therapy has yet to gain popular
appeal, probably because the whole sticking electrodes to your head
thing just screams
"don't try this at home." (There are, of course, companies that are trying to sell you on trying it at home, but you'll need to find upwards of $600 and a doctor willing to write you a note.)

Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 27,612 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.
