> This is just hilarious. Remember to get enough sleep after a life-threatening heart attack, folks! Is it better to prioritize low-impact exercise or sleep af

  Not specific to "after a heart attack" but IME while both are important Sleep is much more important than Exercise. Anecdata: I spent a decade as caregiver/caretaker for my late Mother who refused to do any exercises except the absolute necessary ones which a doctor would ask her to do for a specific cause eg. back pain, breathing exercises etc. As soon as that symptom alleviated she would abandon the exercises. So i encouraged her to take long naps whenever she felt sleepy and it helped keep her mental faculties sharp and physically feel spry (within limits of course).
