[30-second reminder from Dr. Jeff, Harvard Neurology Ph.D.]
"Snoring" is one of the culprits of brain degeneration!
Many couples suffer from "sleep divorce - sleeping in separate rooms", mostly because they can't stand their partner's loud snoring. Snoring can reduce sleep quality and cause daytime sleepiness. You may not know that snoring can accelerate brain aging! The latest French research shows that if the time of "deep sleep" caused by snoring or sleep apnea is reduced by 10%, brain aging will be accelerated by 2 to 3 years.
The image below illustrates this: The more deep sleep you get, the fewer white spots you have in your brain. Patient A has 22% deep sleep, patient B has 13% deep sleep, and patient C has the most white spots on the brain. He only has 5% deep sleep left. The reason is... snoring!
Snoring needs to be cured. Don’t think that the louder you snore, the deeper you sleep!
