Study Links Insufficient Sleep, Daytime Napping, and Sleeplessness to Accelerated Brain Aging
Summary
A University of Arizona study of over 23,000 adults found that common sleep patterns—including insufficient sleep, frequent daytime napping, and sleeplessness—may be linked to accelerated brain aging. Published in Alzheimer's & Dementia, the research analyzed brain scans and questionnaire data, suggesting these sleep habits are associated with signs of brain aging years later.
