According to researchers, people with insomnia are more likely to report thoughts of death and suicide during a 30 day period than those who don't suffer from sleep disturbances.
Over the past few years, brain training programs have grown in popularity with claims of helping to improve memory and cognitive function. However, a new study in the Journal of Neuroscience reports a popular commercial brain training system had no effect on cognitive function beyond practice effects on the training tasks. They system also had no effect on decision making.
