英國倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院的研究人員指出，定期午睡對大腦有好處，能延緩大腦萎縮。

該研究團(tuán)隊發(fā)現(xiàn)，有午睡習(xí)慣的人的大腦比不午睡的人的大腦要大出15立方厘米，相當(dāng)于延緩衰老三至六年。

不過，科學(xué)家建議，午睡不要超過半小時。

隨著年齡增大，大腦會自然地萎縮，但是午睡能否預(yù)防阿爾茨海默癥等疾病仍需要更多研究。

大腦健康對于預(yù)防癡呆癥十分重要，而癡呆癥和睡眠不佳有關(guān)。

研究人員指出，長時間睡不好會損害大腦，導(dǎo)致大腦炎癥，從而影響腦細(xì)胞之間的聯(lián)系。

研究員瓦倫蒂娜帕茲說：“因此，定期午睡能彌補(bǔ)睡眠不足，從而預(yù)防神經(jīng)退行性疾病?！?/p>

午睡可能有利于健康，但是反過來，你的身體如果特別累，也會需要更多的小憩。

所以研究人員用了一種巧妙的技術(shù)來證明午睡的益處。

他們采用了基于DNA的超大型自然實驗的數(shù)據(jù)。

先前的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，人類DNA中有97個片段決定你是否喜歡午睡。

因此該團(tuán)隊抽取了參加英國生物樣本庫計劃的年齡在40歲和69歲之間的3.5萬人的數(shù)據(jù)，并將天生的午睡者和不午睡者做了比較。

發(fā)表在《睡眠健康》期刊上的這項研究結(jié)果顯示，二者大腦體積相差了15立方厘米，相當(dāng)于前者比后者晚衰老2.6至6.5年。
