Too Much Bedtime After Stroke? Yikes!

Turns out, spending extra hours in bed after a stroke might not be the recovery hack we thought. A new study found that post-stroke patients who lingered in bed longer had more brain damage and scored lower on memory and thinking tests. The kicker? These brain changes are linked to higher risks of dementia and more strokes. Sleep is important, but too much time in bed could actually slow your brain down. Who knew catching extra Zzz’s could backfire like this? #StrokeRecovery #BrainHealth #SleepScience #Health
