Is Insomnia Common After A Stroke?

Sometimes I go to sleep and no one can wake me up for a short time to a time of a couple of hours. The Nurse at the care center I live at s wake.aid she was afraid I was having a stroke. Those are the symptoms when I do try to wake. After I do wake, I m just fine.

Hello,

I don't think that when you sleep and others can't wake you up is a symptom of stroke. It can be a sign of very deep sleep. Probably any drugs you are taking may be causing this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
