Study finds that low-dose acetylsalicylic acid mitigates the inflammatory consequences of sleep restriction Reports and ProceedingsAMERICAN ACADEMY OF SLEEP MEDICINE DARIEN, IL – A new study to be presented at the SLEEP 2024 annual meeting found that low-dose acetylsalicylic acid, also known as aspirin, can reduce inflammatory responses to sleep restriction. Results show that compared...

How sleep loss sabotages new memory storage in the hippocampus
by Elisabeth Paymal, University of Michigan Somatostatin-expressing interneurons in the mouse dentate gyrus, labeled with Brainbow 3.0, which labels each neuron a distinct color. cFos, labeled green, is present in the nuclei of surrounding pyramidal cells which are active during sleep.

Blue light isn’t the main source of eye fatigue and sleep loss—it’s your computer
by Phillip Yuhas, The Conversation Blue light has gotten a bad rap, getting blamed for loss of sleep and eye damage. Personal electronic devices emit more blue light than any other color. Blue light has a short wavelength, which means that it is high-energy and can damage the delicate tissues of the eye. It can...

The molecular changes caused by sleep loss, and how that leads to weight gain
A great number of observational studies have suggested that sleep loss or disrupted circadian rhythms due to shift work are associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes and a variety of other dysfunctional metabolic conditions. A study from Uppsala University is now offering evidence that helps better explain how tissue-level molecular changes are brought on by...
