Summary
This study tests whether a twice-weekly exercise program can improve sleep quality in people who had a stroke at least a year ago and currently have poor sleep. 62 participants aged 55 and older will take part in 60-minute classes over 6 months. The goal is to see if exercise can help them fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and improve overall health.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, drug-free way to improve sleep and reduce health risks in stroke survivors.

This is a small, early-stage study with only 62 participants. The exercise program may not improve sleep for everyone, and results may not apply to all stroke survivors.
