你白天特別困嗎？《Sleep》雜志2018年9月5日新發(fā)表的研究表明，你如果特別困，那么患老年癡呆的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)就更高。

Scientists asked 124 healthy older adults, average age 60, about how often they felt drowsy or fell asleep during the day when they would rather be awake, as well as their napping habits. The group then had regular PET scans over the next 15 years to look for beta-amyloid in the brain, high amounts of which are a hallmark for Alzheimer's.
科學(xué)家找了124位平均年齡60歲的健康老人，詢(xún)問(wèn)他們白天想清醒的時(shí)候是否會(huì)感覺(jué)困倦或睡著，還詢(xún)問(wèn)了他們的午睡習(xí)慣。然后在接下來(lái)的15年里研究團(tuán)隊(duì)定期對(duì)他們進(jìn)行PET掃描，在大腦中尋找β-淀粉樣蛋白，含量過(guò)高就是患上了老年癡呆。

During the follow-up, the researchers found that people who reported frequent excessive daytime sleepiness were about three times more likely to have beta-amyloid buildup than those who weren't sleepy during the day.
通過(guò)跟蹤調(diào)查，研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)自稱(chēng)白天經(jīng)常睡眠過(guò)多的人β-淀粉樣蛋白堆積的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)比白天不困的人高三倍。

Findings from previous studies suggest that when sleep is inadequate or disrupted — say, because of insomnia, sleep apnea, or any other sleep-related problem — our brains have less time to clear out metabolic debris that can lead to beta-amyloid build up. And if you don't sleep well, you are more likely to fight sleepiness and fatigue the next day.
此前研究的結(jié)果表明失眠、睡眠呼吸暫?；蚱渌c睡眠有關(guān)的問(wèn)題導(dǎo)致睡眠不足或中斷時(shí)，我們的大腦沒(méi)有足夠時(shí)間清理代謝碎片，從而導(dǎo)致β-淀粉樣蛋白堆積。如果你睡眠不好，第二天更有可能需要抵抗困倦和疲勞。
