mfigueroa+FollowDreams Getting Wild? Scientists Say Watch OutEver wake up to your partner yelling, laughing, or even throwing punches in their sleep? Scientists now say acting out your dreams could be an early sign of dementia. A new study found that people with REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) tend to have a slow but steady decline in memory and attention—even if they don’t develop full-blown dementia. Bonus fact: women seem to handle it better than men. Sleepwalking, but make it science! #Health #MentalHealth #SleepScience00Share
Ryan Lewis+FollowAI Can Predict Your Health From Sleep?!Stanford just dropped a wild study: their new AI, SleepFM, can analyze your sleep and predict your risk for over 100 diseases—including dementia, cancer, and stroke—years before you’d ever know. It’s not a doctor’s tool yet, but the fact that one night’s sleep can spill so many secrets about your future health is kind of mind-blowing. Maybe those sleep trackers are onto something after all! #Health #BodyHealth #SleepScience00Share
Alexis Nicholson+FollowFound the Real Sweet Spot for Sleep & StepsTurns out, there’s a magic combo for sleep and exercise: people who sleep 6-7 hours a night actually walk more the next day than those who sleep longer! Scientists tracked 70,000+ people and found both too little and too much sleep means fewer steps. Only about 13% of us hit the 'ideal' sleep and step goals. So maybe it’s time to rethink those one-size-fits-all health rules? #Fitness #SleepScience #StepGoals00Share
Charles Christensen+FollowYour Brain’s Nightly Detox: Why Sleep MattersEver heard of the brain’s own cleaning crew? It’s called the glymphatic system, and it gets to work while you sleep, flushing out toxins linked to dementia. But if your sleep is all over the place—thanks, insomnia or sleep apnoea—this system might not do its job, letting toxic gunk build up. Scientists are still figuring out exactly how it works in humans, but one thing’s clear: quality sleep could be your brain’s best friend for the long haul. #Health #BodyHealth #SleepScience00Share
