When temperatures rise, sleep often suffers. Hot nights can make it harder to fall asleep, increase the number of times you wake up during the night, and leave you feeling less rested the next day. One reason for this is thermoregulation—the body’s ability to maintain its core temperature within a safe range. Sleep is closely […]When temperatures rise, sleep often suffers.

Breakthrough in Alzheimer’s: Scientists Restore Two Hours of Sleep Without Removing the Plaques in the Brain
Imagine a small fire breaking out in a corner of your kitchen. With the right fire extinguisher, you might be able to put it out quickly. Instead, the sprinkler system is triggered and floods the entire house, turning a localized problem into widespread damage. According to researchers, something similar could be happening in the brains […]Imagine a small fire breaking out in a corner of your kitchen.

One Hour Less Sleep: How Daylight Saving Time May Affect the Retina
The switch from daylight saving time to standard time—and vice versa—affects not only the time of day but apparently also the human body. A new study by researchers at Northwestern Medicine shows that the time change may be linked to an altered risk of certain retinal vascular diseases. In particular, the switch to daylight saving […]The switch from daylight saving time to standard time—and vice versa—affects not only the time of day but apparently also the human body.

New Studies Show that Intermittent Fasting Could Help With Weight Management in The Long Term
People who repeatedly lose weight only to gain it back again may find it easier to stick with intermittent fasting than with traditional calorie counting—according to a new study from the University of Adelaide. The study examined not only how much weight the participants lost, but also how different dietary approaches affected their eating habits, […]People who repeatedly lose weight only to gain it back again may find it easier to stick with intermittent fasting than with traditional calorie counting—according to a new study from the University of Adelaide.

Even 80 Minutes Less Sleep per Night Can Lead to Weight Gain
Getting a little less sleep each night can have a greater impact on your health than you realize. Researchers at Columbia University’s Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons found that adults who reduced their nightly sleep by about 80 minutes for six weeks gained an average of about half a kilogram and spent more time […]Getting a little less sleep each night can have a greater impact on your health than you realize.
