          Unlocking Memory Enhancement: Sleep-Based Deep-Brain Stimulation Shows Promise

          Researchers provide evidence of how the brain consolidates memory during sleep. The study revealed that targeted deep-brain stimulation during a specific sleep phase can enhance memory consolidation.

          Hair Cortisol Levels in Infants May Predict Sleep Patterns

          Cortisol levels in late pregnancy may predict an infant's sleep patterns. Higher cortisol levels in neonates were found to be associated with longer sleep latency at 7 months.

          Junk Food vs Sleep: New Study Reveals Impact of Diet on Sleep Quality

          Researchers uncovered how an unhealthy diet affects deep sleep quality. The study revealed that consuming a diet high in sugars and saturated fats leads to deterioration in the quality of deep sleep.

          Novel Treatment for Violent Dreaming in REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

          A new potential treatment for rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder has been identified. The study established a new model detailing the disorder's progression due to neurodegeneration linked with tau protein accumulation.

          Shifting Sleep Patterns: Night Owls Can Become Early Birds

          Are you a night owl struggling with early morning commitments? Researchers suggest your sleep habits may be more changeable than you think. The study revealed that while genetics and behavior play a role in our sleep preferences or 'chronotypes', it is possible to shift these patterns over time, with potential benefits for sleep quality and academic success.

          Clock-Watching Worsens Insomnia

          Monitoring time while trying to sleep can exacerbate insomnia and increase the use of sleep aids. The study involved nearly 5,000 patients from a sleep clinic, and found that the stress of estimating sleep durations significantly impeded the ability to fall asleep.

          Dream to Create: Sleep Onset Boosts Creativity

          Researchers discovered targeted dream incubation during the sleep onset phase may enhance creativity. The study found that participants given a specific topic to dream about during this phase performed more creatively in tasks related to that topic. This 'targeted dream incubation' led to the generation of more creative stories compared to those who napped without a specific prompt or stayed awake. The study suggests that the brain makes wider connections between disparate concepts during this dream state, enhancing creative performance.

          Sleeping Deeply to Remember Better: Deep Sleep Could Reduce Memory Loss in Alzheimer’s

          Deep sleep, also known as non-REM slow-wave sleep, may help reduce memory loss in older adults facing a heightened burden of Alzheimer’s disease. The research indicates that superior amounts of deep sleep can act as a protective factor against memory decline in those with existing high amounts of Alzheimer’s disease pathology, potentially helping to alleviate some of dementia’s most devastating outcomes.

          Sleep Spindles Play a Role in Soothing PTSD Anxiety and Enhancing Memory Retention

          Brief bursts of brain activity during sleep known as sleep spindles could potentially help regulate anxiety in people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Researchers believe that the study's findings may be useful for people with anxiety disorders and are looking at non-invasive ways to harness the benefits of this sleep stage to relieve symptoms. The study also suggests that sleep hygiene, electrical brain stimulation, or prescription sleep medications could promote the sleep spindles associated with non-rapid eye movement 2 (NREM2) sleep and potentially benefit patients with stress and anxiety disorders.

          Hope for Chemo Brain: Cannabis Could Improve Sleep and Cognitive Function in Cancer Patients

          Cancer patients who use cannabis to address their symptoms have less pain, sleep better, and after a few weeks of sustained use, appear to think more clearly. This study is among the first to assess how cannabis bought over the counter at dispensaries affects cancer symptoms or chemotherapy side effects, and sheds light on the wide variety of products cancer patients use now that marijuana is legal in many states. The findings suggest that while some forms and dosages of cannabis for pain relief may impair thinking short-term, the treatment might improve cognition in the long run by reducing pain.

          Dogs with Dementia Suffer Similar Sleep Problems to Humans

          A new study found that dogs with dementia suffer similar sleep disruptions as humans with dementia. Using EEGs, the researchers found that dogs with advanced dementia had more sleep disruptions and slept less overall than dogs with normal cognitive function. The findings could help with early diagnosis and intervention for dogs with cognitive decline and could establish them as models for Alzheimer's disease.
