What is Sleep about?

This study found that sleep-disturbed mice developed larger arterial plaques than mice that slept well. The sleep-disturbed mice had higher levels of inflammatory cells and lower levels of the brain hormone hypocretin, which controls wakefulness. When hypocretin levels were supplemented, atherosclerosis development slowed in the sleep-disturbed mice. The findings suggest that undisturbed sleep protects arteries by regulating hypocretin production and the number of inflammatory cells in the body.
