In de 25 jaar die ik gewerkt heb deed ik het met max. 6 uur slaap.
Verder zie ik niet zo een aanknopingspunt minder slaap=depressie.
Wel zie ik stress en slapeloosheid als 2 'vrienden'
Nerve disruption
Brain images captured by an fMRI scanner when the test subjects had first viewed the pictures indicate that sleep deprivation diminishes activity in the hippocampus, a brain region involved in memory processing. “This study shows that the brain has to be well rested to receive and store information for memory processing,” says Yoo.
Studies in rats have shown that sleep deprivation can increase levels of stress hormone in the brain, which subsequently disrupts nerve activity in the hippocampus. Yoo says it could be possible that a similar mechanism causes memory deficits in sleep-deprived humans.
Previous studies have also shown that a full night’s rest after studying can improve learning. But Yoo says his new experiment is the first to demonstrate the importance of sleeping well before studying new information.
