A new study at the University of Helsinki inspected and analysed the development of insomnia symptoms in midlife and their effects on memory, learning ability and concentration after retirement.The follow-up period for the study was 15-17 years and it found that long-term insomnia symptoms and later poorer cognitive functioning have a clear connection.The findings indicate that severe insomnia symptoms were associated with worse cognitive function among those who were on statutory pension, says Doctoral Researcher Antti Etholen, describing the results of the study.
