2. Heart attack recovery starts with better sleep

Could the most powerful part of your healing happen while you're asleep? After a cardiac event, many survivors struggle with exhaustion, restless nights, and fear of falling asleep, yet heart attack recovery depends on more than medications and exercise alone. In this episode, Luiza explores why restorative sleep is one of the most overlooked foundations of healing, how a heart attack affects both the nervous system and the mind, and simple bedtime practices that help create a greater sense of safety for both survivors and caregivers. You'll learn why sleep often feels so difficult after a heart attack, the subtle habits that can transform the quality of your rest over time, and a gentle mindset shift that can help quiet nighttime fear without fighting it.
