Unlocking the Right Sleep: How Elite Sleepers Might Hold the Key to Battling Alzheimer's with Dr. Fu
In a groundbreaking study from Dr. Ying-Hui Fu's team at the University of California, we delve into the intriguing world of Familial Natural Short Sleepers (FNSS). These individuals, who naturally sleep less yet face no cognitive decline, might offer insights into slowing Alzheimer's disease. Join us as we discuss the compelling link between sleep quality and neurodegenerative disorders and how FNSS genetic mutations could become our secret weapon against Alzheimer's.
