We have all heard about the benefits of sleeping early and how we would die earlier if we sleep late every day.
However, maybe it’s because we are actually busy or because we think that we are still “young”, we usually brush that last thought off.
But maybe this story here might give you a wake-up call.
“Muscle Dad” From Taiwan Struck Down With StrokeÂ
JZ Woo or “Muscle Dad” from Taiwan is a 37-year-old bodybuilder.
Why “Muscle Dad”? Perhaps this picture would show you why.
Yup, a very ribbed and muscular daddy indeed.
But hold your panties horses ladies (and all gay men out there), he’s happily married to his wife, Melody Wan, another fitness guru.
They are a fitness couple and would often attend events and hold classes together at JZ Fitness, the gym they co-own.

Rushed To The Hospital In Time Â
At the hospital, the doctor said that there was a brain embolism – a blood vessel in his brain was blocked by a clot.

The good news was that Woo had more treatment options as he was admitted within three hours.
Medical History And Lifestyle Revealed AnswersÂ
Puzzled by the sudden stroke, the doctor went through his medical history and it was revealed that on his mother’s side, they had a hypercoagulation problem.
This means that blood clots easily for them. His mother takes medication to manage the disease.
In addition to that, Woo would often sleep at around 3am and wake up at 6am. He would take naps in the afternoon but he usually has less than 6 hours of sleep a day.
Road to RecoveryÂ
The stroke had affected the part of the brain that controls movement on the right side of his body but Woo is undergoing treatment and rehab.

His recovery is going smoothly, thanks to his already fit-physique before.
In the meantime, Wan is helping him and is taking over his classes at the gym.
Changes To Daily HabitsÂ
The health scare has caused the couple to appreciate each other more.
“I realised, I’m so happy to be able to text my husband. To be able to hug him while chatting with him is such a huge blessing,” Wan says after her husband woke up from his coma.
She’s grateful for every day with her family and they now sleep at 10pm and wake up early in the morning.
Treating Strokes Is A Race Against TimeÂ
Only 50% to 60% of stroke patients arrive at the hospital in an ambulance.

Receiving immediate medical attention is important if you’re suffering from a stroke because time is of the essence.
Healthy Lifestyle, Healthy LifeÂ
Let the workaholic in you rest. Even if you don’t think you need it, your body needs it.
According to National Sleep Foundation, the recommended hours of sleep for adults (18-64) is 7 to 9 hours. More is okay, less isn’t.
So put your phone away and sleep before your alarm rings!
