Slow Memory Decline By Getting More Sleep
Dear Reader,
Sure age brings wisdom, but both the body and brain feel the strain of the years. Many older people will tell you that their memory (and sleep) isn't as good as it used to be. Now research might know why. What's more, it may be possible to slow down the decline in memory and ability to learn as we get older by addressing something fairly simple, and sadly fairly common... poor sleep.
The study appears in the journal Nature Neuroscience and shows a rather surprising relationship between the aging brain, memory and sleep.
In fact, the experiments performed on 36 subjects (evenly split between those in their 20s and those in their 70s) found that changes in the aging brain also harm the quality of your deepest sleep, and this is what impacts the ability to store memories long term. First the researchers demonstrated that they could use the state of a part of the brain called the medial prefrontal cortex to predict how much deep sleep a person would get. This is an area of the brain essential for going into deep, slow-wave sleep, but as we age, the region degrades.
Next they examined the amount of deep slow-wave sleep could be used to predict
how well the subjects might do on tests of memory. Young subjects getting lots
of good quality sleep did better on tests than older people who had less quality
sleep. We know that slow-wave sleep is so important in terms of cementing new
memories.
While there isn't a way to restore the needed part of the brain, there might be another, equally effective solution. In fact, the findings of the research suggest to experts that there may be ways of improving sleep to stop memory decline by stimulating the right part of the brain with electricity during the night. It's like a jump-start to the system according to researcher Dr. Matthew Walker. This technique has actually been shown to improve memory performance in young people, and they wanted to try the approach on older subjects to see if it did the same.

Slow Memory Decline By Getting More Sleep Continued...
In cases of dementia, the combination of brain cells dying, poor sleep and memory loss are far more serious than in normal aging. There's a report in the journal Science Translational Medicine that suggests trouble sleeping could be an early indication of oncoming Alzheimer's disease. More work is needed to confirm any association between poor sleep and memory. Are these changes a cause, or consequence, of disease... no one knows.
The research team from the University of California, Berkeley could not say if changes in the brain, sleep and memory are separate signs of aging or quite connected. The study was short term, and future work would investigate if a lack of slow-wave sleep might also be associated with a more long-term decline in memory.
While you're waiting on future research, consider how much our attitude toward sleep is changing. More and more experts are finding that sleep is not merely idle time, but that many important processes are taking place. Practicing good sleep habits is a simple step to take to ensure you're getting enough good sleep. If you're consistently having trouble sleeping, don't wait and hope things will get better, talk to your doctor now so you can be on the road to getting better, more restful sleep every night.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
