Sleep Can Help Us Protect Our Brains. Sleep plays an integral part in maintaining proper brain function. Studies demonstrate how disturbed restful slumber increases dementia risk while quality rest can flush away dangerous chemicals that accumulate and contribute to memory loss and cognitive decline over time.
Empirical Data on Dementia and Sleep Recent studies indicate that those sleeping for less than six hours a night during their fifties and sixties have an increased risk of dementia later. Both memory consolidation and removal of beta-amyloid, the fuel for Alzheimer’s,
depend on deep sleep phases such as slow wave. If we sleep less, our brain may produce beta-amyloid that fuels its harmful effects more efficiently, possibly providing another protection mechanism against dementia later.
Sleep can increase life expectancy. Sleep restoration benefits both brain health and other systems like immunity, metabolism and cardiovascular. Studies show that those who get seven to eight hours per night enjoy longer and healthier lives than those sleeping less; sleep truly is nature’s cure!
Take Action:
Incorporating consistent bedtimes, limited screen time before sleep, cold and dark rooms and forgoing caffeine after noon are proven ways of increasing restful slumber.
