Sleeping for less than 8 hours or having disrupted sleep is linked to cognitive dysfunction in men aged 65 and above, reveals a new study.
In a new article published in the Journal of Sleep Research, the Adelaide Institute for Sleep Health research group studied a group of 477 middle-aged and older men s attention and processing speed in relation to their sleep.
The participants from the Florey Adelaide Male Ageing Study undertook cognitive testing and a successful sleep study.
