How Good Sleep Affects How YOU Benefit Form Exercise
Scientists have discovered that middle-aged individuals who don't get enough sleep may not fully benefit from exercise in terms of protecting their memory and thinking abilities.
A study conducted by researchers from University College London (UCL) revealed that people in their 50s and 60s who engaged in regular physical activities but slept less than six hours per night experienced a faster decline in cognitive skills such as attention, memory, and learning.
After a decade, their cognitive functions were similar to those who were less physically active.
The study, published in The Lancet Healthy Longevity journal, emphasizes the importance of sleep for safeguarding cognitive health as people age.
The researchers suggest that adequate sleep is necessary to obtain the full cognitive advantages of physical activity and highlight the need to consider sleep and exercise together when assessing cognitive well-being.
