It can be stressful and exhausting, trying to get a crying baby to settle down and go to sleep. New research now suggests that for the best chance at success, parents should pick the infant up and walk around with it for five minutes.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Study suggests that carrying crying babies is the best way to calm them
We’re all maybe a little bit surly the day after a sleepless night, but a new study suggests selfishness can be directly related to how well rested we are. The robust research offered evidence, from both an individual and a societal level, to demonstra… Continue reading How an epidemic of poor sleep may be making us a more selfish society
A compelling new study indicates Parkinson’s disease (PD) could be diagnosed by remotely tracking a person’s breathing patterns. Led by researchers from MIT, the study presents an AI system that uses radio waves to monitor breathing while a person sleeps.

As part of the circadian rhythms that act as our 24-hour body clock and govern many aspects of our physical and mental states, our body temperature begins to decline when bedtime approaches. Scientists have designed a smart mattress designed to tap int… Continue reading Temp-controlled mattress taps into body thermostat to lull you to sleep
A new study suggests brain inflammation is the key factor linking sleep disturbances with Alzheimer’s disease. It’s hypothesized the same overactive immune cells in the brain that ultimately contribute to cognitive decline can disrupt certain sleep cycles in the earliest stages of neurodegenerative disease.

Poor or disrupted sleep has long been associated with a variety of negative health outcomes, from obesity and heart disease to dementia and depression. But there is an ongoing debate amongst researchers over the causal direction of these associations.C… Continue reading Study suggests causal link between insomnia and high blood sugar
Napping for longer than one hour or several times a day could be an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease according to new research. It’s suggested excessive daytime napping shares a bidirectional relationship with cognitive decline, both reflecting and shaping changes in the brain.

Are you one of those lucky people who seem to be able to thrive on between four and six hours of sleep per night? You may be what UC San Francisco researchers have dubbed an “elite sleeper,” and a new study reports the same genes associated with healthy short sleep patterns may also slow the onset of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
