He probably needs more sleep than he is getting now. I used to be able to do ok on 6-7 hours of sleep pre-stroke. Now if I try that I have to take a couple of naps during the afternoon. You might also have him enter a sleep study to see if he has sleep apnea and needs a CPAP machine.

Hi boobabee, how is your husband? Probably he is going through a lot of stress due to post stroke adjustments, coping up with job and daily activities of living. It is common for a person at that age to overcome the strain and stress. Comparing to his post stroke days, he might be less physically active now and might be a lessened muscle tone due to stroke. It is better to take as much rest as possible and not to stress too much as chronic fatigue can set in. It is a good suggestion to get sleep study as said by Mr. Dean to rule out any other sleep problems like sleep apnea. Regular morning-evening walk, stretches and gentle body massage might be helpful. You can also consult a neurologist. Take care and share your thoughts.
