B vitamins - who'd a thought!

Researchers have suspected for some time that the link between our gut and brain plays a role in the development of Parkinson's disease. A 2024 study identified gut microbes likely to be involved, and they all influence pathways that synthesize B vitamins in the body.

When initiating CBTi for insomnia, I often suggest short naps if people can't function at all. Although I agree with the conclusion of this research (that using naps doesn't replace good sleep habits), it is important to note that slow-wave sleep in a different bird in college students (the participants here) and other age groups. Don't give up your nap if you sleep through the night and it does you good - but keep it short.

Short naps of up to 60 minutes in duration do not mitigate the effects of a night of sleep deprivation, a new study reports. However, the amount of slow-wave sleep achieved during a nap was related to reduced impairments associated with sleep deprivation.
