Now this was very interesting to me. As we get older we start to notice things. I am an obsessive reader. Even if the subject isn't my normal genre. I will explore it anyway. Keeps my mind fresh. 😊

This is super interesting. I had a TBI (after multiple concussions) and have struggled with sleep. The days I actually sleep deeply, I wake up with more cognitive clarity. These are the days that help me progress and adapt to life with a brain injury.

Must be high rates of Alzheimer's for medical professionals and certain fields where sleep deprivation is expected.

This is just one reason sleeping is so important for us. One of the 8 laws of health 💛

It’s no wonder we have people with a lot of mental issues. Many of them do not sleep.

@ladyspinedoc so like our digestive system, liver, kidneys, etc is there a way to medically take over or “assist” with this important job in the brain?

Have you every dealt with a patient that had CJD?

[zziggy]

So if we don’t have good sleep hygiene we are robbing the brain from getting the reboot it needs to do

Since I don't hit deep sleep, I'm doomed. Advanced directives...
Does post concussion syndrome affect deep sleep, increasing the risk for these conditions later in life?

[poodleloo]

Does this have something to do with Parkinson's???
