2/ One night of complete sleep deprivation increased blood S100-B and NSE by 20%, S100-B both markers of traumatic brain damage and stroke.
3/ Quality sleep is essential for learning and memory consolidation A balanced sleep cycle is required for memory consolidation. Deep sleep: allows filtering through the short term memories and learnings of the day, and the selection of most significant memory bits to be…

0/ Sleep deprivation is brain damage Shorter sleep correlated with lower IQ-test performance in school children.
0/ Sleep deprivation is brain damage
Shorter sleep correlated with lower IQ-test performance in school children.
1/ A single night of sleep deprivation increased beta amyloid load in the brain by 5%, this is the plaque-causing protein beta-amyloid in the brain by 5%.
There's many focused on the short term; enough of us need to think on the very long term.
Do this structured daydream for 15 min today: close your eyes, relax, and imagine you're an alien that's just arrived on earth. What do you observe? A cheeky answer is fine, also, spend 15 min as it sharpens creativity, reduces stress, and strengthens memory.
