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.

Sleep hygiene - 6 Easy Steps to Falling Asleep Fast

What protocol did your doctor give you on sleeping? None? In the hospital I was at, Ambiens were handed out like candy at bedtime. You'll have to ask your doctor if sleeping pill sleep actually counts as sleep and does the nightly brain cleanup task.

    Interesting that you are not supposed to watch a clock. My insomnia was getting pretty bad and it started making me anxious that I couldn't sleep. I'd "wake up" some mornings convinced that I'd gotten very little sleep. Then I got a projection clock so that I didn't have to haul myself up to look at the clock. Now, if I'm having trouble sleeping, I've come to realize that what feels like being awake for 20 minutes is actually just 1, etc. So the nights I'd been previously rolling around "all night," I probably wasn't.

    BTW, they gave me Benadryl in the hospital when I couldn't sleep , then Ambien. Nothing worked for me.
