Your brain can age up to three years at once: annoying process in the bedroom causes incurable harm to health
This not only ages, but also leads to a stroke.
Loud snoring is linked to an increased chance of stroke, Alzheimer’s disease and overall cognitive decline. In addition, according to researchers from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Paris-Cite (France), people who snore can age their brain for years and damage its health, depriving themselves of the opportunity to sleep deeply.
The study, published by the journal Neurology, involved both sleep snorers and non-snorers. Snorers have been found to have more white matter hyperintensity (tiny brain damage) than non-snorers. Snoring participants showed a decrease in the integrity of the brain axons that connect nerve cells.
As a result, deep sleep is not available to snorers, and it is one of the main indicators of sleep quality. Research has shown that for every 10% decrease in deep sleep, white matter overexertion increases, which is equivalent to 2.3 years of brain aging.
The same 10% reduction in deep sleep duration was also associated with a reduction in axonal integrity, and this reduction had the effect of making the brain look 3 years older than its actual age.
