Sleep and Your Brain
Sleep is not just rest. It is when your brain repairs itself and clears waste.
Sleep and Your Brain
Sleep is not just rest. It is when your brain repairs itself and clears waste. A study in NIH showed that people with poor sleep often have “older” brains compared to their real age. This means poor sleep may speed up brain ageing.
The Role of Inflammation
Bad sleep affects the immune system. When sleep is weak or broken, the body slips into a state of chronic low-grade inflammation. Over time, this raises risks for diabetes, heart disease, and brain decline. The study also found that inflammation partly explains the link between poor sleep and an older brain.
Memory, Mood, and Energy
Poor sleep does more than make you tired the next day. It disrupts memory, learning, and focus. Many people also feel more irritable or low in mood when they sleep badly. If this continues, the brain ages faster and becomes more vulnerable to diseases like dementia.
Why It Matters
Late nights, long work hours, and too much screen time are common here. These habits may feel normal, but they quietly add stress to the body. The damage builds up slowly, and by the time health problems appear, it may already be serious.
Protecting Your Sleep
Simple changes can protect your body and brain. Keep a steady sleep schedule, cut down on screens before bed, and make your room dark and quiet. If you wake unrefreshed or feel tired during the day, it is worth paying attention to your sleep health.
