This study seeks to evaluate feasibility, reliability, and validity of self-report and objective measures of sleep in post-stroke aphasia. Individuals who participate will be asked to complete the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Sleep Disturbance (SD), Sleep Related Impairment (SRI), and Fatigue banks. We will also complete the Comprehensive Aphasia Test. If interested, research participants will wear an actigraphy device for 1 week while maintaining a sleep diary. Data will be collected locally in person or remotely across the country.

Emily is running a study looking at sleep patterns in people with aphasia. The study involves 2 sessions (in person, at home, or virtual) and 1 week of wearing a sleep tracking watch. Emily hopes to use this project to help learn more about how sleep may impact aphasia recovery.

Inclusion: - 18 years or older - Speak English proficiently - Aphasia after stroke - Access to internet and computer if opting for remote participation - No other known neurologic conditions/diagnoses
