Important News On Sleep And The Aging Brain
Dear Reader,
As if not getting enough sleep wasn't bad enough, four new studies presented at the Alzheimer's Association 2012 International Conference point to the idea that poor sleep patterns could be associated with both mental deterioration and life altering Alzheimer's disease. The good news to come from the studies is that the research suggests sleep interventions might help in holding off mental decline.
Too little, or too much sleep was connected to two years of brain aging in the largest of the studies, including over 15,000 U.S. middle-aged women taking part in the Nurses' Health Study. Those who slept five hours or less, nine hours or more, were found to have lower average mental functions than those who got seven hours of sleep each night.
The study also saw that sleep duration that changed by two hours (or more) a day from midlife to later in life resulted in poorer brain function than for those who had no change in duration of sleep. Study author Elizabeth Devore who is an associate epidemiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital believes the findings raise the notion that sleep and circadian based interventions might be a route to address cognitive function.
Another study presented at AAIC 2012 involved measuring the sleep quality of over 1,300 women over 75. Those with sleep disordered breathing or sleep apnea were more than two times as likely to have mild thinking problems or dementia over the next five years compared to those who didn't have this sleeping condition. Not surprisingly, those subjects who dealt with greater wakefulness at night also scored lower on tests of verbal fluency and thinking.
A third study on sleep presented at AAIC 2012 comes from France where researchers studied just about 5,000 subjects over 65 years old who were mentally healthy and agreed to be evaluated a total of four times over the next eight years. When looking at all aspects of insomnia, the team saw that excess daytime sleepiness was a predictor of poor memory and thinking skills, known to medicine as cognitive decline, in older patients. Trouble staying asleep appeared to have no impact on brain function.

Important News On Sleep And The Aging Brain Continued...
The fourth study presented at AAIC 2012 comes from a team out of Washington University School of Medicine who took samples of blood and cerebrospinal fluid over a 36-hour period from three groups. One group included patients diagnosed with dementia, the second group were healthy age-matched subjects and the third group were younger volunteers. The team saw from the samples that daily sleep patterns were associated with levels of amyloid proteins, the substances recognized as a marker for Alzheimer's.
The researchers don't know if the sleep changes or disturbances are signs of mental decline to come. The four studies do give science a lot to think about and suggest that if you are having sleep issues today, you follow up with your own healthcare provider. It's not that you're doomed to have dementia, but more that treating such conditions promptly is tremendously beneficial. Leaving sleep problems untreated is not a long term solution.
To your good health,
