What if you could predict your risk for specific diseases based on a single night of sleep? Researchers at Stanford University have successfully tackled the challenge using an artificial intelligence model and developed a system called SleepFM. Using data from body signals recorded in 65,000 patients with a previous in-laboratory sleep study, the model was able to identify a person’s risk, with 80% or above accuracy, to later develop Alzheimer’s Disease (91%), Parkinson’s Disease (89%), prostate cancer (89%), breast cancer (87%), dementia (88%), hypertensive heart disease (84%), stroke (81%), myocardial infarction (81%), and heart failure (80%). This new AI model may prove to be a valuable tool, along with existing assessment tools, to help identify early signs of diseases.

Timing may be everything for patients with narcolepsy taking Modafinil. Per a study published in PLOS Computational Biology, a mathematical model shows that taking a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, such as modafinil, a few hours prior to the body’s own natural rise in dopamine can extend the effect of the medication. Chronotherapeutics (optimizing medication efficacy with respect to circadian timing) may provide valuable insights related to drug dosage and timing and help facilitate the most effective treatment plan for patients with narcolepsy, Parkinson’s disease, ADHD, depression or even addiction.

Timing is everything. Low intensity physical activity in the early evening 10-15 hours after waking up appears to have the most important impact on improving sleep efficiency per a preliminary study released in Nature Scientific Reports. The study was conducted using machine learning analysis based on a large sleep dataset. With new year resolutions in mind, gentle exercise and sleep should be on everyone’s list.

Besides smoking, insufficient sleep may be the most important factor for shorter life expectancy, according to a new study published in SLEEP Advances. Researchers conducted a statistical analysis across all states and found that sleeping less than 7 hours a night shortened life span more than diet, level of exercise or loneliness.

These results highlight the importance of considering sleep not just as essential for short term well-being, but also for long term longevity with sleep as a core element in cardiovascular, brain, and immune function.

A new nationwide analysis shows that getting fewer than seven hours of sleep a night is one of the strongest predictors of shorter life expectancy across U.S. counties.

Individuals with chronic insomnia may suffer from circadian rhythm abnormalities due to disruptions in their daily rhythm of mental activity. Per a recent study, their peak mental activity may occur up to 6 hours later than healthy sleepers. As their brain stays alert and awake later in the day in a more cognitive engaged state, they have trouble downshifting or disengaging and fail to properly power down at night.

Chronic insomnia treatments try to focus mainly on behavioral strategies. Future tailored options focusing on circadian and cognitive factors such as strengthening circadian rhythms with timed light exposure, structured daytime routines and mindfulness may prove beneficial in retraining the brain to receive the appropriate signals to quiet down.
