Dr Raha West presenting her findings in South Korea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Are you a morning \u2018lark\u2019 or a night \u2018owl and how is this linked to brain performance? To mark Sleeptember, Dr Raha West from the Department of Surgery and Cancer explores her recent research on over 26,000 people which found those who are naturally more active in the evening scored better on intelligence, reasoning and memory tests.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

As we slip towards Sleeptember, a month dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of sleep, it\u2019s the perfect time to reflect on the findings of our recent study published in the\u202f<\/span>BMJ Public Health<\/span><\/a>. Our analysis delves into how sleep duration, chronotype (whether you\u2019re a morning person or an evening person), and various health and lifestyle factors influence cognitive performance in older adults.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Motivation Behind Our Study<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The importance of sleep in maintaining overall health, particularly brain health, has always intrigued me. The idea that our daily sleep patterns, including how long and when we sleep, could significantly impact our cognitive abilities led me to explore this further. <\/span>Previous<\/span> research<\/span><\/a> has shown that poor sleep quality and duration are linked to various health issues. Still, the specific influence of chronotypes on cognition, especially in older adults, remains under-explored.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Methodology and Participant Selection<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our study utilised data from the UK Biobank, which includes a comprehensive set of health information from over half a million participants aged 40 and above. We focused on 26,820 individuals who completed detailed sleep and cognitive assessments. Participants were divided into two cohorts based on the cognitive tests they completed, ensuring a robust data analysis.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Key Findings: Sleep Duration and Cognitive Performance<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We discovered that sleeping 7-9 hours per night is optimal for cognitive health. Both shorter and longer sleep durations were associated with poorer cognitive performance. This finding emphasise the importance of maintaining adequate sleep duration to support brain function.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chronotype and Cognitive Function<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our study revealed that individuals with evening or intermediate chronotypes performed better on cognitive tests than those who identified as morning types. Interestingly, this trend contrasts with previous findings in younger populations where \u2018morningness\u2019 was often associated with better cognitive outcomes. This suggests that the relationship between chronotype and cognitive performance may evolve with age, possibly due to changes in circadian rhythms (the b<\/span>ody’s natural 24-hour cycle that controls when you feel awake and when you feel sleep) <\/span>and brain aging.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Surprising Elements and Broader Implications<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One surprising aspect was the lack of a significant relationship between sleep quality and cognitive performance in our study, contrary to some previous research. This might indicate that specific aspects of insomnia, such as severity and chronicity, need more detailed consideration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the average person, the main takeaway is that understanding and working with your natural sleep tendencies can be beneficial, but the most critical factor is ensuring you get the right amount of quality sleep. This balance is essential for maintaining optimal brain health and cognitive function.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s Next?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Future research should focus on understanding the biological mechanisms behind these findings. Longitudinal studies are needed to explore how changes in sleep patterns over time affect cognitive health. Additionally, more diverse populations should be included to enhance the generalisability of our results.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Practical Advice<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For those concerned about their sleep patterns, the key takeaway is to prioritise adequate and consistent sleep. Rather than trying to drastically change your chronotype, focus on getting 7-9 hours of good-quality sleep per night. Tailor your activities to suit your natural rhythms to optimise cognitive function throughout the day.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As we continue our research, we hope to develop more personalised recommendations that can help individuals maintain their cognitive health through better sleep practices.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Media coverage of the study
