 Study finds losing a night of sleep may increase blood levels of Alzheimer's biomarkers. What I've been telling you guys Sleep is probably the easiest biohack you can do to help yourself in anything in life Whether that is your health your weight your happiness if you're trying to fight depression, whatever like sleep is literally Free the easiest biohacker biohacking thing you can possibly do But yet we live in a society where people are getting like I think on average to say six hours of sleep Which is fucking crazy. So let's go through the study. Just came out yesterday January 8th, okay, so a preliminary study done by researchers of Uppsala University has found that when young healthy man We're deprived of just one night of sleep. They had higher levels of TA TAU a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease TAU is a protein found in neurons and the protein can form into tangles These accumulate in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease This accumulation can start decades before symptoms of the disease appear previous studies of older adults have suggested The sleep deprivation can increase levels of TAU in the cerebral spinal fluid Trauma to the head can also increase circulating concentration of TAU in the blood Quotations from the study many of us experience sleep deprivation at some point in our lives due to jet lag Pulling all night air completing a project because of shift work working over nights or inconsistent hours said this author of the study Their study shows that even young healthy individuals missing one night of sleep results in a slight increase in the levels of TAU in the blood Which suggests over time similar types of sleep deprivation or disruption could potentially have detrimental effects So how to do the study? They did it pretty damn easy young age of the people were 22 is a two-phase study for each phase The men observed on their strict meal and activity schedule in the sleep clinic for two days and two nights Blood samples were taken in the evening and again in the morning for phase one Participants were allowed to get a good night of sleep both nights, right? And then for phase two participants were allowed to get only one good night of sleep and a second night was deprivation Okay, so during the deprivation they had lights were on Participants were playing games playing video games or watching TV movies talking whatever they had horrible sleep Researchers found the man had an average of 17% increase in the TAU levels in their blood after a night of sleep deprivation compared to an average of 2% increase in TAU levels after a good night of sleep like Shit like that's crazy like Think about that Think about that one night of sleep deprivation May cause increased levels of this TAU biomarker in your blood and there's so many studies when it comes to sleep There's studies for sleep deprivation when it comes to hunger cues. There's studies for brain performance There's studies for energy. There's you go to PubMed go to Google Scholar and dive in the fucking rabbit hole of sleep studies and It irates me that we live in a society where people think they can cheat sleep You can't fucking cheat sleep You can't cheat nature and sleep truth be told is the easiest fucking bio hack you can do It's free.
