Nurturing Your Second Brain
When we think about brain health, most of us picture neurons firing, synapses connecting, and memory networks lighting up.
A few studies in cognitively normal people and one in mice have shown a connection between chronic sleep disruption and the development of amyloid plaques. Kate Sprecher at the University of Wisconsin has written a paper on this following research. In the paper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4523445/ it was found that self-reported sleep quality, but not quantity, was associated with amyloid plaques in brain regions typically affected in Alzheimers Disease. In his book, ‘Why We Sleep’ Matthew Walker also discusses Beta-Amyloid build up caused by several factors but including poor sleep. ‘A lack of sleep is fast becoming recognised as a key lifestyle factor determining whether or not you will develop Alzheimers disease‘, P157.
Sleep well, uninterrupted and for more than 7 hours a night.
