Are you getting the sleep your body needs?
If you regularly get less than 7 hours of sleep, it could be affecting your brain… and raising your risk for age-related memory decline, or Alzheimer’s! Research in HealthDay News says that’s because during sleep, our brain systems have a chance to sweep away plaque that blocks nerve signals, and triggers disease. But without adequate sleep, that clean-up process gets cut short, which can eventually lead to memory loss and overall cognitive decline.
