Broken Sleep Rhythms: The Glymphatic Link to Dementia

During non-REM sleep, synchronized chemical waves trigger rhythmic vascular movements known as vasomotion, pumping cerebrospinal fluid through the glymphatic system to flush out toxic amyloid-beta and tau proteins. When these rhythms are fractured by psychiatric, cardiovascular, or age-related stressors, waste clearance stalls.

This shows people laying down and sitting down while a red line loops around them.

Sleep Duration Linked to Accelerated Aging

Researchers have discovered a "U-shaped" link between sleep and the biological clocks of 17 different organ systems. Sleeping fewer than 6 hours or more than 8 hours accelerates the aging of your heart, lungs, and immune system. By analyzing data from half a million people, the study identifies a "longevity window" of 6.4 to 7.8 hours, highlighting sleep as a vital, modifiable lifestyle factor for systemic health.
