Sleep disorders are prevalent among stroke survivors and impede recovery, yet they still insufficiently considered in the management of patients, mechanisms by which occur remain unclear. There is evidence that boosting phasic GABA signaling with zolpidem during repair phase improves recovery enhancing neural plasticity; however, as a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic, effects on post-stroke sleep
