Three species of spiders have amazingly fast circadian clocks, raising questions about how they avoid the negative effects typically associated with deviating from the normal biological timeframe (Darrell Moore, abstract 237.01, see attached summary). MicroRNA expression may serve as an indicator of sleep loss in rats and humans, suggesting a possible method for predicting those at risk for diseases and cognitive deficits typically associated with sleep debt (Seema Bhatnaghar, abstract 239.25, see attached summary). The connection between sleep and brain function has long been an area of exploration for neuroscientists.
The studies were presented at Neuroscience 2017, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world’s largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.Īdequate restful sleep leads to improved cognitive function and enhanced memory formation, while insufficient, restless sleep has harmful effects such as impaired memory and judgement, and can lead to increased risk for medical conditions such as stroke, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Recent research sheds new light on the extensive effects of sleep on the brain, as well as the harms caused by sleep loss. Like becoming more prone to strokes, obesity or cardiovascular disease.Īlthough the general benefits of a good night’s sleep are well established, one-third of American adults do not get a sufficient amount of sleep. You know, the type you get when you’re worried about things.
That’s just the effects of restless sleep. It’ll make you more prone to strokes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, bad judgement and memory loss. Even just restless sleep is really, really bad for you.
