A new study from Karolinska Institutet reveals that poor sleep accelerates brain aging, making brains appear older than their chronological age. Researchers found a one-year age gap for poor sleepers, with inflammation explaining over 10% of this link. Improving sleep habits could prevent accelerated brain aging and potential cognitive decline.
