A new study reveals that not getting enough of specific stages in the sleep cycle may be linked to cognitive decline and potentially may lead to Alzheimer's disease. Researchers from the Yale School ...

Shorter slow wave sleep and rapid eye movement sleep were associated with decreased volume in Alzheimer disease-vulnerable brain regions.

The research team, led by Dr. Gawon Cho, a postdoctoral associate at the Yale School of Medicine, studied 270 individuals ...

A link has been found between neuroactivity during sleep and brain atrophy in areas vulnerable to the degenerative disease.

Need another reason to prioritize your sleep? Not spending enough time in the two deep stages of sleep may hasten the ...

"Our findings provide preliminary evidence that reduced neuroactivity during sleep may contribute to brain atrophy, thereby potentially increasing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease," lead author Gawon ...
