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.

More neurons mean less need for sleep

Do you still have enough neurons to not need as much sleep? Has your doctor tested for this and adjusted your sleep protocol? Do you have ANY PROTOCOLS AT ALL?

More neurons mean less need for sleep

Sleep is seemingly universal among animals. Daily sleep time varies considerably between mammalian species and also during mammalian development, yet we still don't know what drives this variation. Herculano-Houzel hypothesized that sleep-inducing metabolites produced during waking hours accumulate more slowly in brains that have a smaller density of neurons underneath a unit surface area that gets washed by cerebrospinal fluid during waking. In 24 mammalian species and several postnatal stages in the developing rat, there was indeed a correlation between the ratio of neuronal density to brain surface area and daily sleep duration. The evolutionary addition of neurons may have decreased the need for sleep, allowing a species to feed for longer, and thus facilitated further increases in neuronal numbers.
