Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Lack of Deep Sleep Linked to Brain Shrinkage and Higher Alzheimer's Risk, Study Finds
Caption: Lack of Deep Sleep Linked to Brain Shrinkage and Higher Alzheimer’s Risk, Study Finds. A new study reveals that insufficient time spent in deep sleep, specifically slow-wave and REM stages may accelerate brain shrinkage linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers at Yale found that people lacking these sleep stages had reduced volume in the inferior parietal region, a part of the brain responsible for processing sensory and spatial information. Lead author Gawon Cho said this area is one of the first to show signs of neurodegeneration. Dr. Richard Issacson, a preventive neurologist not involved in the study, said the findings align with clinical evidence that deep sleep quality is closely tied to cognitive health.
