A team of scientists from Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City (USA) has discovered that many of the deaths related to sleep in babies are directly related to letting them sleep on the sofa and, above all, if they do it next to an adult.

Previous research has already warned that lack of sleep can cause memory loss. Now, new work suggests that lack of sleep may also increase the chance of having false memories.

The time that the members of a couple spend sleeping sometimes varies markedly, as does the time they fall asleep and wake up.

What happens when we dream?

This sleep disorder has a very late diagnosis, about 6 or even 10 years after symptoms began to appear.

This disorder had been linked to heart disease and cognitive decline. According to this study, it also doubles the risk of stroke and cancer.

Our brain needs to rest to perform better every day. But what if you could fool your brain by "telling" it that you slept very well and rested even though you did not? Well, your brain will work better. How has this conclusion been reached? Thanks to the experiment carried out by researchers at the University of Colorado and whose results have been published by the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory and Cognition.

There are people who have a great facility to remember with an impressive range of details the dream they had the night before. Others, however, state that they remember nothing or practically nothing. Why does this happen?
