Abstract: “Time is brain” is one of the most influential principles in the management of acute ischemic stroke. It has appropriately driven the development of rapid stroke pathways, prehospital triage, streamlined imaging protocols, and efficient reperfusion systems. Yet, for one important group of patients, the clock presents a fundamental challenge: those who awaken from sleep with neurological deficits have a known last-known-well time, but an unknown time of stroke onset.
