Sleep helps improve movement recovery after stroke by turning the short-term memories from the day into long-term memories. It also gives the brain time to rest and recharge.
Many stroke survivors can be concerned by how much they sleep after a stroke. If you find yourself sleeping lots during recovery, it’s probably a good sign.

APPROPRIATE compensations are those that are necessary for the performance of a specific task in a given environment at a certain time but that do not persist once the task has been accomplished. These compensatory strategies should diminish over time.
INAPPROPRIATE compensations are those that persist beyond the completion of a task, limit other functions, or the completion of a task, limit other functions, or mask potential for further recovery.
