Your sleep habits reveal more about your brain health than you might think. While lack of sleep is widely known to impact mood, cause fatigue, and even lead to long-term brain damage, what about regularly sleeping in? It's not as beneficial as you might assume, and new research suggests it may be an even bigger red flag.
In a recent study, researchers examined the impact of both regular short sleep and sleep-ins on the human brain and found that while consistently getting too little sleep is linked to depression and brain shrinkage in emotional regions, regularly sleeping too much may be an early warning sign of cognitive decline, Alzheimer's, or even schizophrenia.
