Sleep disorders are among the most common disorders in neurological diseases; they are associated with reduced quality of life, worsening of the disease course and premature death. In patients with stroke such problems as insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, sleep-wake disorder and sleep movement disorders are not only potential risk factors in general but also aggravating factors. Treatment of insomnia disorders in stroke patients has a favourable impact on the quality of life and reduces the risk of recurrent events in obstructive sleep apnea.
