The study was published in Circulation Research, an official journal of the American Heart […]
As decades of research have shown, poor sleep habits are closely linked to long-term chronic health conditions. To better understand this link, a team led by researchers at Penn State College of Health and Human Development identified four distinct patterns that characterize most people’s sleep patterns. These patterns also tell us something about long-term health. […]
Sleep helps to consolidate our memory for complex associations, supporting our ability to complete memories of entire events. Researchers have known for some time that sleep consolidates our memories of facts and episodic events. However, previous research has mainly focused on simple associations, i.e. connections between elements, such as those we make when learning new […]
Eating nutrient-rich foods can improve metabolic health and delay the ageing process. But what levels of macronutrients in the diet are appropriate to achieve this? To answer this question, Japanese researchers fed young and middle-aged male mice an isocaloric diet with varying levels of protein. They found that the mice were metabolically healthier when fed […]
Deep sleep is crucial for memory consolidation. Several sleep disturbances have been observed in people with mild cognitive impairment. Among the most pronounced changes is a reduction in the amount of time spent in the deepest phase of sleep. Research from Northwestern University suggests that gentle sound stimulation during deep sleep improves deep sleep in […]
