Washington, January 15: Are you deprived of sleep? Having sleepless nights for a long term can lead to bad health and make you more prone to disease. According to a small research it was noticed that sleep deprivation can lead the brain to produce more of the Alzheimer’s linked protein amyloid beta, thus leading to Alzheimer’s.

 

It has been estimated that in America almost 5 million people live with Alzheimer’s, a disease characterized by gradual memory loss and cognitive decline. It is noticed that the sleeping poorly increases levels of brain proteins such as amyloid beta that are linked to Alzheimer’s disease. It is estimated that around 50 million to 70 million American adults struggle to get a good night’s sleep. Some have medical conditions such as restless leg syndrome that interfere with their rest.

Lack of sleep also leads to other problems like memory loss, anger, hallucination, risky decisions, and brain hamrage. Amyloid beta is a byproduct of normal brain activity. The researchers found that when people stay awake, their brains continue to produce amyloid beta through the night. A sleeping brain produces much less. Asleep or awake, the brain clears the protein away at the same rate, so the increased production during sleep deprivation leads to higher levels of the damaging protein.

Therefore it becomes important that a sound sleep is necessary and essential for a healthy life to avoid any health risk. having a peaceful sleep and healthy diet will lead to a healthy life.
