[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 55 and have a very vivid memory from early childhood until the time when I was a new mom. Then, things get fuzzy. I think sleep deprivation as a new mom and parent of young children took a toll. Now, as my kids are older, I think my memory is actually getting better but there is a definite gap during my children’s early years. [/quote] Yes, of course. Truly restful sleep is required for the brain to carry out the process of laying down long term memory. The majority of our sleep requirement as human beings, in fact, is for the restorative effect to our brain rather than to the rest of our physical bodies. Sleep deprivation is very destructive to health overall, but especially to brain health and it can drive an otherwise mentally healthy person into delusional psychosis in fairly short order if sleep is deprived nearly entirely.
