People with chronic insomnia who used melatonin long term had a roughly 90% higher risk of developing heart failure over five years, according to a large preliminary study. The findings do not prove melatonin causes heart problems, but they raise new questions about the safety of taking the popular sleep supplement for extended periods.

A new study links sleep loss to the thinning of the myelin layer, which slows signal transmission in axons. Restoring cholesterol homeostasis reverses this.

A recent study found that a short afternoon nap may offer brain health benefits, such as clearing the mind and improving learning.

A recent study suggests that pink noise may interfere with REM sleep nd reduce overall sleep quality. The researchers say that using earplugs may be a safer alternative to pink noise.

Sleep isn’t just about feeling rested—it may be one of the strongest predictors of how long you live. Researchers analyzing nationwide data found that insufficient sleep was more closely tied to shorter life expectancy than diet, exercise, or loneliness. The connection was consistent year after year and across most U.S. states. The takeaway is simple but powerful: getting seven to nine hours of sleep may be one of the best things you can do for long-term health.

Yet so many of us don't do it.

Poor sleep health may accelerate brain ageing. This may be driven by higher levels of systemic inflammation.

News flash: Napping is not lazy.

A breaking study has linked long-term use of this popular supplement to a staggering heart risk increase. Still, you may not have to give it up for good.

New research suggests that people with insomnia who use melatonin supplements for more than a year have a higher risk of heart failure than those who don’t use the popular sleep aid.

How much sleep do you really need? Scientists emphasize a "U-shaped risk curve."

New studies show that a bacterial molecule, peptidoglycan, is present in the brain and fluctuates with sleep patterns. This challenges the idea that sleep is solely brain-driven, instead suggesting it’s a collaborative process between our bodies and microbiomes. The theory links microbes not only to sleep but also to cognition, appetite, and behavior, pointing to a profound evolutionary relationship.

Scientists found that sleep plays an active role in transforming how memories are stored. After an immersive experience, participants remembered the order of events better after sleeping, suggesting the brain prioritizes storylines over details during deep sleep.
