A shortage of shuteye could be doing a number on your noggin.
This is your brain on sleep deprivation.
A shortage of shut-eye can lead to visible aging of the cerebrum, according to a new study — giving a whole new meaning to beauty sleep., scientists observed that one night of complete sleep deprivation in some cases caused significant changes in brain structure, making it look 1-2 years older. Researchers in Germany studied 134 healthy volunteers — aged between the age of 19 and 39 — analyzing their MRI data after various states of sleep from five categories of sleep conditions.There’s even more of a reason to get a full night’s rest.Each group had at least one night of “baseline sleep” where they spent eight hours in bed.
“Interestingly, after one night of recovery sleep, brain age was not different from baseline,” they wrote.The authors say although the study indicates sleepless nights may affect the brain in the short term, research is still needed for the long-term effects of chronic sleep loss.
