Did you know...Sleeping 6 hours or less per night is linked to an increased risk of developing dementia later in life? A new study published Tuesday , found sleep duration of six or less hours a night for those aged 50 to 60 was associated with a 30% increase risk of late-onset dementia compared to consistent normal sleep of seven hours. Out of nearly 8,000 people, researchers found 521 had been diagnosed with dementia at an average age of 77. Experts say this study highlights the importance of sleep and how certain behaviors can contribute to the risk of developing dementia. Americans can use this information to not only change their sleep habits but also incorporate a healthy diet and daily physical exercise to help reduce that risk.
