A large new study shows that poor sleep habits may make the brain look physically about a year older on average.
For the study, the researchers from China, Sweden and Britain examined brain scans and sleep patterns of more than 27,000 middle-aged and older adults in Britain.
The study, published in the journal eBioMedicine, used advanced brain imaging and artificial intelligence to estimate “brain age” based on over 1,000 brain features.
Meanwhile, to measure sleep quality, the researchers looked at five factors:
- Whether someone is a morning or night person
- How many hours they sleep (with seven to eight considered best)
- Whether they have insomnia
- Whether they snore, and
- Whether they feel very sleepy during the day.
Based on these traits, they gave each person a sleep score.
