- Link Between Sleep Apnea And Silent Strokes, Small Lesions In Brain
People with severe sleep apnea may have an increased risk of silent strokes and small lesions in the brain, according to a small study presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2012. "We found a surprisingly high frequency of sleep apnea in patients with stroke that underlines its clinical relevance as a stroke risk factor," said Jessica Kepplinger, M.D... - New Genetic Study Links Body Clock Receptor To Diabetes
A study published in Nature Genetics has found new evidence for a link between the body clock hormone melatonin and type 2 diabetes. The study found that people who carry rare genetic mutations in the receptor for melatonin have a much higher risk of type 2 diabetes... - Insomnia - Early Diagnosis Plus Treatment Helps Prevent Complications
Even though insomnia is the most common sleep disorder, it is often left unrecognized and untreated, despite advances in diagnosis and management. The risk of developing other illnesses, such as diabetes, depression, hypertension, and possibly even death in older adults increases if insomnia is left untreated... - Appetite Sensation In The Brain Affected By Lack Of Sleep
New research from Uppsala University, Sweden, shows that a specific brain region that contributes to a person's appetite sensation is more activated in response to food images after one night of sleep loss than after one night of normal sleep. Poor sleep habits can therefore affect people's risk of becoming overweight in the long run... - Unpleasant Emotional Memories Preserved And Enhanced By Sleep

Vitamin D deficiency is present in 60 percent to 75 percent of patients with severe COPD... - Alzheimer's Patients Benefit From Light Therapy
Exposure to light appears to have therapeutic effects on Alzheimer's disease patients, a Wayne State University researcher has found. In a study published recently in the Western Journal of Nursing Research, LuAnn Nowak Etcher, Ph.D., assistant professor of nursing, reported that patients treated with blue-green light were perceived by their caregivers as having improved global functioning... - Circadian Rhythm Disruption Causes Neurodegeneration, Early Death
New research at Oregon State University provides evidence for the first time that disruption of circadian rhythms - the biological "clocks" found in many animals - can clearly cause accelerated neurodegeneration, loss of motor function and premature death. The study was published in Neurobiology of Disease and done by researchers at OSU and Oregon Health and Science University... - Chronic Missed Naps Could Put Toddlers At Risk For Mood-Related Problems Later In Life
A new study led by the University of Colorado Boulder could be a wake-up call for parents of toddlers: Daytime naps for your kids may be more important than you think... - Young Diabetics Struggle To Get Good Night's Sleep, Health, Behavior Problems Ensue
New research finds that many young people with type 1 diabetes struggle to get a good night's sleep and this leads to increased health and behavior problems, such as poorer control of blood sugar and worsening of academic performance...
