Now, there's news of a link between the quality of sleep and the risk of dementia. A new study takes a look at rapid eye movement sleep (REM), or the period when a person dreams. Top Alzheimer's researcher explains how you can help protect your brain Tips for communicating with and caring for Alzheimer's patients There are four stages in the sleep cycle. In stage one, sleep is very light, and it progresses to deep sleep in stage three. After that, there's REM sleep, which usually occurs four to five times over eight hours as your sleep cycle repeats. In the study, as the amount of REM sleep declined, the risk of dementia increased. The study looked at 321 people over age 60. There is increasing evidence that toxins accumulate in the brain during the day, but are cleaned out when we're asleep -- sort of like a garbage collecting function -- and these include things like amyloid, which is linked to Alzheimer's. It's not clear exactly when during the sleep cycle it occurs, but it's a very exciting new area of research. Research continues, however, on whether sleep deprivation can actually cause dementia. But, we do know that changes in the brains of people with Alzheimer's begin decades before symptoms are noticed. So at the very least, testing people for sleep problems might be a useful screening test for picking up dementia sooner -- rather than later. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rem-sleep-dementia-study-health/
If it's "difficult to stop", does that mean the team just has crappy offensive players (outside of CJ, Damian and Jusuf)?
Two championships in three years, three appearances, 4 all stars, a great coach and management. I know that’s not much but you’re being ridiculous.
You got something against being ridiculous? I read every KingSpeed post I can get my hands on. I can't keep my hands off his post. He's just being funny. Never succeeding, but he tries, and that's what counts. Good guy.
No he’s being serious @KingSpeed doesnt know hoops. He’s more of a casual fan which isn’t bad at all. But he doesn’t have hoops knowledge or anything like that as u can tell with his comments so u can’t take him serious
Yes, let's be real. Please, let's. The Warriors are a jump shooting team with two members of the exclusive 50/40/90 club. There have only been seven players in the history of the NBA to post a 50/40/90 season, and the Warriors have two of the seven members of that club. And, in addition to having two of the greatest shooters in the history of the game, the also have the guy who holds the NBA record for points in a quarter at 37, and scored 60 points in 29 minutes last year. Think about that. Their THIRD option on offense is capable of scoring 37 points in a quarter and 60 points in 29 minutes. Those are video game numbers, which I thought you'd appreciate as you seem to know more about video games than the real thing. So yeah, they are a jump shooting team, the greatest jump shooting team in the history of the world, and its not even close. Plus, they have had one top defenses in the league the last three seasons. A FACT that often gets overlooked due to their immense offensive talent. Yes, they will make the playoffs, yes, they will win their division and the Western Conference. They will have the best regular season record in the NBA for the fourth year in a row. They will make it back to the finals, and barring serious injury, they will win their third title in four years. How's that for keeping it real? BNM
