U.S. researchers have discovered from the results of their studies on mice that lack of sleep may play a big role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. Okay, so this is so serious and important.
I never knew that fact otherwise. I researched it online and it's proven to be true. New Scientist claims that lack of sleep accelerates the progression of Alzheimer's disease by the toxic plaques developed in the brain due to lack of sleep. Now that's a proven true fact.
Nevertheless, findings taken from a journal called "Science", could that get any worser? I absolutely despise news that were derived from journals. Aren't there any other good reliable sources you could take it from to prove the issue reported?
Nevertheless, it was a study done on mice. How can studies on mice prove that it would happen on humans too? It might not in some cases. Aren't there any cases to prove that it happened to actual humans that because of the lack of sleep, they had Alzheimer? I frequently have lack of sleep and yet I do not have Alzheimer. Where's the strong fact to make me believe that it's real to aware me that I should sleep more?
The processes done on the mice to prove that lack of sleep may cause Alzheimer were included, that's impressive. Findings to prove that it could happen to humans were stated, however, it was simply an assumption. There wasn't any tests done on humans otherwise? Or true experiences by humans to prove that this fact reported is true.
A resolve of Alzheimer disease treatment was included and reasons why these worked were stated. Nevertheless, the treatment had problems. So why bother mentioning about it when you know it's never going to work. People want to know about treatments that work to help them, pretty please?
Moreover, the sources included in the article were only researchers. There should be more specialists in these, like say, maybe a specialist in Alzheimer disease? Whatever fits into the category of the issue being reported, that should be included.
This seems really shallow, thus does not work as news. It feels as if I'm being lectured in a seminar about a particular disease.
