Your REM Sleep Might Predict Alzheimer’s

Wild new study alert: Turns out, taking longer to hit REM sleep (that dream stage) could mean a higher risk for Alzheimer’s down the road. Scientists say your brain uses REM to clear out the gunk linked to dementia, but if it takes too long to get there, that cleaning job isn’t as effective. You can’t really control how fast you hit REM, but keeping good sleep habits—think less caffeine, less screen time—still matters big time for your brain! #Health #BodyHealth #SleepScience
