There have been alarming reports from journalists that naps lead to dementia. Now many people are faced with a difficult choice. They would like to take a nap after dinner, but are afraid of losing their minds. Frankly, even I was suddenly pulled to spread the yoga mat and straighten the back. But I doubt it.
In fact, sleep problems in Alzheimer's have been discovered a long time ago.
Also, dementia usually occurs in older people, and sleep disturbances also occur in older people.
We have already analyzed sunset syndrome, in which during the daytime drowsiness rolls over the old people, and at night they begin to go crazy. This is about it.
So they still haven't figured out what is the reason for such daytime sleepiness. But over time, scientific research using cunning statistical methods began to reveal daytime sleepiness earlier and earlier.
It would seem that the person is normal, and many years will pass before his dementia, but during the day he is already passed out. This behavior would be quite cute and funny, if medical journalists did not turn everything upside down and declare naps as the cause of dementia.
No, brothers. Sleep during the day does not cause dementia. Daytime sleep is rather one of the initial signs of impending dementia. He predicts dementia. But not everyone and not always have dementia. So it would be perfectly acceptable to sleep for an hour or an hour and a half between 13.00 and 16.00. Brains will only work better.
Maintain your cognitive reserve, live a healthy life, and there is a chance that you will not live to see your dementia.
