Sleep is a great mystery. We do not know why we need to sleep.
Poriadne spávajte, he is in good health. Well, it's much easier to say how to do it. Today, lack of sleep one of the most prevalent phenomena in modern society, not only your partners would be able to talk
problem, but this is also the point of view of medicine :. Just when you sleep little, you deterioration of the state of health. And no, you can not pass through the weekend
Finally, it also shows new research in PLOS Biology magazine. Although scientists have indeed studied wine flies, the results suggest why sleep is more important than you think.
Sleep is actually a big mystery. We love him as he likes, we love him, but from a biology point of view, we still do not know why he is really good. On the contrary, it is a risk: when you sleep, you do not monitor the surroundings and you are surprised that you have different predators. Still, scientists have shown that there is a link between sleep and so-called oxidative stress. This is, quite simply, a discomfort in the body that occurs when the body is unable to break down reactive oxygen – you know it as free radicals.
The result is a variety of health problems, ranging from fatigue up to heart failure or neurodegenerative. 19659007] Drosophila are not people, but they are a good model for different experiences. Scientists have modified the flies so that they can not sleep. They found that these mutants still share a characteristic. They were more sensitive to sudden oxidative stress
Next, scientists tried to verify his hypothesis. They have reduced oxidative stress in animal brains by increasing the expression of antioxidant genes. It has been shown to reduce the natural need for sleep.
Does this mean that between sleep and oxidative stress is a two-way relationship. We also sleep so that we can relieve the body of oxidative stress. The more we sleep, the more resistant we are. And when we do not have such stress, we do not need to sleep as much.
What is the lesson? Do not forget to sleep, the body will not forget
In Egypt, they found a huge black sarcophagus. Nobody knows what's inside, the sarcophagus is completely intact. Together with the sarcophagus, the researchers also discovered the alabaster bust of a man, apparently buried by the owner of the grave. The tomb dates from the time of the Ptolemaic dynasty
The Greenland glacier lost a huge piece of ice. A fragment of the Helheim Glacier is about 6.54 kilometers long, 1.5 kilometers wide and eight hundred meters thick
Archaeologists have apparently discovered the first entrance of the epic of Homer Odyseus. However, exact dating must be confirmed by other research
