Key Takeaways: Daytime sleep may interfere with the brain’s waste-clearing process, linked to Alzheimer’s risk. The brain’s glymphatic system relies on circadian rhythms, which daytime napping could disrupt. Shift workers and chronic nappers might face higher risks of dementia and other health issues. New research suggests that sleeping during the day—instead of at night could throw off the brain’s natural detox process, potentially increasing vulnerability to neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s disease. Published in Nature Communications, the study highlights how the timing of sleep, not just sleep itself, influences brain health.
