“Consider possible influences such as apnea, periodic limb movements, partner disruptions, or environmental noise. Orthosomnia — when tracking backfires Some people develop more anxiety about their device data than about their sleep itself.”

“To learn more about how sleep affects cognitive health, check out our episode featuring sleep expert Dr. Matthew Walker. Relevant work Prefrontal atrophy, disrupted NREM slow waves and impaired hippocampal-dependent memory in aging.”

“Bright morning light helps anchor the circadian clock and can shift sleep timing earlier when a person's internal rhythm is delayed. Clinical evidence also suggests that light therapy can modestly reduce wakefulness after sleep onset in people with insomnia.”

“Chiefly, sleep deprivation triggers the onset of a "loneliness phenotype" by inducing critical changes within the brain that alter behavior and emotions, disturb metabolic processes, and influence the expression of immune-related genes.”

“Sleep loss also changes leptin, ghrelin, hunger, and preference for energy-dense foods. Protecting regular sleep therefore supports metabolic health through both direct insulin-signaling effects and food behavior.”

“For chronic insomnia, multicomponent cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia has the strongest clinical support and is recommended by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. She also discusses melatonin, magnesium, L-theanine, glycine, and myo-inositol.”

“The decline of deep sleep begins early in life, nearly disappears by age 80, increasing the risk for Alzheimer's disease. These Aliquot segments feature Dr. Charles Raison, a professor of psychiatry, and Dr. Matthew Walker, a professor of neuroscience and psychology.”

“However, several studies have established causation showing that sleep duration is a major determinant of insulin sensitivity. For example, studies that have shown that reductions in sleep duration over multiple nights result in impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance in healthy individuals.”

“A review of three magnesium trials in 151 older adults found shorter sleep-onset latency, but the evidence quality was low to very low. Small glycine studies suggest possible benefits for next-day fatigue and vigilance after restricted sleep.”

“The American Academy of Sleep Medicine strongly recommends multicomponent CBT-I for chronic insomnia and conditionally recommends stimulus control as a stand-alone therapy. Clinical trials support the technique's effects on sleep.”
