Poor sleep costs Canadians $21.4 billion annually
Poor sleep reduces physical activity, increases the risk of cognitive decline, dementia, stroke, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and mortality. Maintaining an optimal sleep quality is essential to maintain cognitive functions such as memory.
In the Memory Lab, we study mechanistic interactions between sleep, lack of sleep, neuroplasticity, and memory. We also explore how exercise can improve sleep quality and architecture.
