On today’s episode, we talk about sleep and aging, but only after Nicholas makes a startling admission about his diet and we explain the origin of our new logo. Each of us has prepared for the topic by reading a different paper. Neeraj read Sleep and Human Aging - PubMed (nih.gov), which details changes in sleep as people age and the relationship with cognition and memory. Nicholas read How are age-related differences in sleep quality associated with health outcomes? An epidemiological investigation in a UK cohort of 2406 adults | BMJ Open which explains the outcomes of a cross-sectional study looking at age-related sleep quality and health outcomes.
We try our best to go through this complex topic. Neeraj feels somewhat lost amongst all the technical terminology but gets excited about the sleeping behaviour of dolphins. Nicholas is his usual calm and collected self (Neeraj wrote this description -Nick). Enjoy everyone!
