Regular Sleep The Best Friend of the Brain
Research by Barbara Bendlin, a neuroscientist from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, shows us that we need to take sleep more seriously.

Researching Alzheimer's disease, Bendlin works with 1500 volunteers aged 40-65 years. 70% of them have a family member with a history of the disease. In other words, volunteers are at risk of developing the disease later in life.
The researcher, who has continued to examine them since 2001, had the opportunity to monitor the early symptoms of the disease from the beginning in some of these individuals who had no symptoms at the time of their registration.
It is known that what causes memory loss in Alzheimer's is plaques formed in the brain.

As a result of the research, the reports shared in 2015 showed that people with low or poor sleep quality were more tired during the daytime and the number of A-beta plaques related to the disease increased.
