Deep sleep may act as fountain of youth in old age
Our nights are frequently plagued by bouts of wakefulness, bathroom trips and other nuisances as we lose our ability to generate the deep, restorative slumber we enjoy.
According to the journal neuron, unmet sleep needs elevate risk of memory loss and a wide range of mental and physical disorders.
"Nearly every disease killing us in later life, like Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, obesity, diabetes and stroke, has a causal link to lack of sleep." said Matthew Walker, a UC Berkeley professor of psychology and neuroscience.
“We’ve done a good job of extending life span, but a poor job of extending our health span. We now see sleep, and improving sleep, as a new pathway for helping remedy that.”
Numerous brain studies reveal how poor sleep leaves them cognitively worse off, reported by young people as mental fogginess and other symptoms of sleep deprivation.
