Studies have shown that poor sleep — a lack of sleep or waking several times throughout the night — is linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Experts know that bad sleep bolsters the development of amyloids beta, peptides involved in the formation of the degenerative brain disease.
Researchers at Stony Brook wondered if different sleep positions influenced amyloid beta in the brain. They examined rats and found that sleeping on the side makes it easier for the brain to eliminate the amyloid beta.
While sleepers take for granted their positions, doctors know that how people snooze can reveal health problems. People with sleep apnea, cardiac disease, acid reflux, or neurological disease with impaired swallowing often sleep inclined on their backs.
