Abstract
Bright light therapy may influence sleep outcomes after stroke.
- Sleep disturbances are frequent following a stroke and can negatively impact recovery.
- Post-stroke sleep issues include insomnia, disruptions in circadian rhythms, and breathing-related sleep problems.
- Research has mainly concentrated on obstructive sleep apnea in post-stroke patients.
- Bright light therapy is a non-drug treatment that may help regulate sleep patterns.
