The Sleeping Position That Quietly Raises Stroke Risk After 60 | A Brain Doctor Explains

As a brain doctor, I've noticed something most of my senior patients don't realize: the way you sleep can directly affect your stroke risk. In this video, I walk you through the sleeping positions that quietly compromise blood flow to your brain after 60, and what you can do about it tonight. If you're over 60 or caring for someone who is, this information could make a real difference. We'll cover: ✓ Why sleeping flat on your back increases stroke risk in older adults ✓ The danger of sleeping face down (prone position) for seniors ✓ Why sleeping on your left side is better than your right ✓ How your pillow choice affects brain blood flow ✓ The hidden risks of sleeping in a recliner ✓ How alcohol and late-night meals affect overnight stroke risk ✓ Simple adjustments you can make tonight to sleep safer This isn't about fear—it's about understanding what happens to your circulation while you sleep, and making small changes that protect your brain for the long run. I'm Dr. Baylor Scott, and I've spent my career studying why strokes happen, especially the ones that occur during sleep. Most of them are preventable. And prevention starts with knowing what to change. If you found this helpful, please subscribe for more honest conversations about brain health, aging, and staying independent as long as possible.
