Final Thoughts
After age 40, your body becomes more honest. It whispers before it screams.
Frequent sleep-related symptoms such as numbness, dizziness, breathing disturbances, headaches, night sweats, and nighttime urination may be subtle signs that your brain and blood vessels are under stress.
These signs do not mean a stroke is inevitable—but they do mean it’s time to listen, evaluate, and act early.
Prevention starts with awareness, and awareness often begins at night.
