The Association Between Sleep and Health-Related Quality of Life in Stroke Survivors

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends adults engage in a minimum of 7 hours of sleep per 24 hour interval to optimize health. Stroke recovery, with its foundations in neuroplasticity, is impacted by sleep. The purpose of this study was to examine stroke survivor data from the 2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), and to compare self-reported measures of physical health (PH) and mental health (MH) for those individuals who met sleep guidelines to those who did not.
