Poor sleep speeds brain aging and may raise dementia risk

New research shows that poor sleep could make the brain appear years older than it really is. Using MRI scans and machine learning, scientists found a clear link between unhealthy sleep patterns and accelerated brain aging.

Thank you for posting these inspiring words.
I turn 70 in January and have had a couple of years of poor health.
I feel I have lost my motivation to try new activities or pick up old ones.
I needed to read Patricia's wise words and stop drifting and start living more fully

Another question for the parents:

When were you finally able to use the bathroom in peace without your kids knocking at your door asking for something or just having a conversation through the door?

Why women live longer than men

An international team led by scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, together with 15 co-authors worldwide, conducted the most comprehensive analysis of sex differences in lifespan across mammals and birds to date. Their findings provide novel insight into one of biology’s long-standing puzzles: why males and females age differently.

Suddenly, it hit me: I’ll never have children

I always figured it would just happen at some point. Talk about an immaculate misconception

I hope one day (maybe today?) we look at this trend in men’s fashion the same way we look at wearing socks with sandals.

Made a “quick” Costco run for lunch. Only had 2 things to buy but left spending $100.

The free samples got me good. I left with 3 packages of some crispy flakey ‘Chinese burgers’. Oh and a giant bag of ‘Late Night’ Doritos.

I’m too weak to be shopping at Costco alone 😂
