A consortium of researchers postulates that dreaming occurs not just in REM sleep, but also in other sleep stages per a recent study published in Nature Communications. Based on recordings of brain activity during sleep with dream reports from an international openly accessible database called DREAM, they also show that when dreaming occurs in deeper and calmer stages of non-REM sleep, it is associated with a higher probability of wake-like activity with the brain showing partial signs of wakefulness. This new paradigm may lay the groundwork for interesting new research related to parasomnias and other disorders.

An international consortium of researchers has created the largest-ever database compiling records of brain activity during sleep and dream reports.

A recent review published in Sleep Medicine Reviews suggests that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) plays a pivotal role in cellular aging and the progression of heart disease and metabolic disorders. OSA causes oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, irregular oxygen levels and damaged or malfunctioning mitochondria which in turn leads to cellular senescence. The aging cells release inflammatory molecules that exacerbate the propensity for cardiometabolic dysfunction. The authors believe the mechanism behind the aging process may explain the high prevalence of high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and metabolic syndrome in individuals with OSA.

This new body of research highlights the importance of adequately treating OSA to prevent potential cellular aging and cardiometabolic decline.

Poor sleep is associated with accelerated brain aging per a recent study published online and evaluating 27,500 middle-aged and elderly adults. Results show that the brain from participants with poor sleep patterns is one year older than their chronological age. It is more prevalent among males and systemic inflammation accounts for 10% of the brain aging.

This new research underlines the importance of addressing poor sleep to foster good brain health and mitigate potential cognitive decline.

Poor sleep health may accelerate brain ageing. This may be driven by higher levels of systemic inflammation.

Children with insufficient sleep are more sensitive to the negative emotional and behavioral effects linked to excessive screen time according to a recent study published in World Journal of Pediatrics. Inversely, children with adequate sleep show fewer emotional, conduct and peer problems, even with comparable screen exposure.

The results underline the importance of sleep duration in relation to children’s well-being and mental health. They also emphasize the significance of establishing healthy sleep habits in children.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of childhood development research, a groundbreaking study has unveiled the intricate relationship between young children’s screen time, their emotional and b
