Lack of sleep may shrink your brain

In the article "Lack of sleep may shrink your brain" Val Willingham started with this question , Can a lack of sleep affect the size of your brain?. An European experiment at at 147 adults between the ages of 20 and 84 shows how the brain volume is affected by the sleep problems. The results show there are a sharp decline on the brain volume once a sleep problems are existing. Also, it can cause Alzheimer's and dementia.  "We know that a lack of sleep can lead to all kinds of problems," explained Dr. Neal Maru, a neurologist and sleep specialist with Integrated Sleep Services in Alexandria, Virginia. "Poor sleep can affect our immune systems, our cardiovascular health, weight and, of course, memories. But we still don't know why". Other research shows lake of sleep would lead to build a protein on the brain. There is a doubt if it could lead to change on the brain structure as the  author Claire Sexton of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom said. In my experiment, I realized that some certain of vitamin that could lead to poor sleep. I had a sharp decline on Iron vitamin that caused insomnia to me. For lake of sleeping, I lost my wight and I had lake of memory. Once the Iron become better, all these problems disappear. Sleeping well is mandatory for a good and enjoyable life, otherwise a bad mode would cover your day. One of the things could help to avoid poor sleep is preventing all disturbers such as cell phone, high light and music in your sleeping room. I main even when you want to brush your teeth before sleeping, try to use a qiute light in washroom, because this would disturb you.
