Hi, I am new to this forum and I hope some help can be found for my post stroke problem. I had a right side of the brain stroke which affected my left side sensory feelings. About 8 months after the stroke I began having serious sleep disorders. I have trouble initiating sleep and the quality is very poor. I have had 8 sleep studies done over the years and the conclusion is that I do not get any stage 3 & 4 sleep which leaves me extremely sleep deprived. I am wondering if the stroke could have damaged the sleep centre portion of my brain? I currently take 7.5mg of imovane to help me at night. I sure hope that someone can give me a solution to my sleep problem. Thanks in advance for any advice or solution.
