Lisa Ramirez+FollowIs Cheese Before Bed Messing With Your Dreams?Turns out that late-night cheese snack might be behind your wildest nightmares—literally! A new study found that people with lactose intolerance or food allergies who eat dairy before bed are way more likely to have disturbing dreams. Even sweets can mess with your sleep! Researchers say digestive discomfort could be waking you up just enough to remember those bad dreams. If you’re always waking up from a nightmare, maybe skip the cheese plate and try some herbal tea instead. Would you give up your bedtime snack for better sleep? #Health #BodyHealth #SleepScience60Share
Joseph Bradley+FollowCould a Sleep Pill Slow Alzheimer’s?A sleeping pill that’s already FDA-approved for insomnia just showed it can slow down those nasty Alzheimer’s tangles—at least in mice. The drug, lemborexant, helped male mice keep more of their memory-forming brain power compared to another sleep med. The twist? It’s not just about getting more sleep, but how the sleep is triggered. Human trials are still needed, but this could be a game-changer for future Alzheimer’s treatments! #Alzheimers #SleepScience #BrainHealth #Health #BodyHealth201Share
Miranda Martin+FollowWhy Bad Sleep Makes You Crave Junk FoodEver notice how a bad night’s sleep makes you want all the snacks? It’s not just you—your brain literally craves high-calorie foods when you’re tired. Lack of sleep messes with your hunger hormones, slows your metabolism, and makes it way harder to resist junk food. Even one rough night can throw everything off! The fix? Prioritize sleep. Your body (and snack drawer) will thank you. #SleepScience #HealthTips #Wellness #Fitness30Share
tuckerariel+FollowWhy New Moms Are Still So TiredEver wonder why new moms are always exhausted, even when they manage to sleep? Turns out, it’s not just about how much sleep they get—it’s about how often they’re woken up. A new study tracked first-time moms with Fitbits and found that even after total sleep hours bounce back, uninterrupted sleep stays super low for months. That constant broken sleep messes with real recovery and might even up the risk for postpartum depression. Forget "nap when the baby naps"—what moms really need is longer, uninterrupted rest! #Motherhood #SleepScience #Postpartum #Health00Share
Kristi Key+FollowToo Much Bedtime After Stroke? Yikes!Turns out, spending extra hours in bed after a stroke might not be the recovery hack we thought. A new study found that post-stroke patients who lingered in bed longer had more brain damage and scored lower on memory and thinking tests. The kicker? These brain changes are linked to higher risks of dementia and more strokes. Sleep is important, but too much time in bed could actually slow your brain down. Who knew catching extra Zzz’s could backfire like this? #StrokeRecovery #BrainHealth #SleepScience #Health61Share
shermandarlene+FollowALS Survival Boosted by Certain Antidepressants?Did you see this? A new study just found that ALS patients taking antidepressants that suppress REM sleep actually lived longer—like, a real survival boost over two years! Researchers think it’s because these meds help with breathing issues during sleep, which is a huge deal for ALS. They’re calling for more trials, but this could totally change how we treat ALS and maybe even other neuro diseases. Wild, right? #ALS #Antidepressants #SleepScience #MedicalNews #Neurodegenerative #Health20Share
