Does revealing yourself cause Alzheimer's?; UNAM warns of the accumulation of toxins in the brain

The article discusses the health risks associated with chronic lack of proper sleep, based on research from the Faculty of Medicine at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). It highlights that insufficient rest is directly linked to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, and complex neurodegenerative conditions. According to Dr. Rafael Santana Miranda, coordinator of the Sleep Disorders Clinic at UNAM, poor sleep cannot be recovered by sleeping more on other days. The article explains that disruptions in deep sleep stages, such as slow-wave sleep (NREM), interfere with the brain’s waste removal system, leading to the accumulation of toxic proteins like beta amyloid, which are strongly associated with Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline. The piece also outlines recommendations for improving sleep quality, including evaluating respiratory issues, preserving the circadian rhythm, controlling light pollution, and maintaining basic sleep hygiene.
