Sure! Here's a bullet-point summary of "Short vs. Long Sleep: What Your Habits Say About Your Brain Health" (M):

  • 🧠 Sleep duration impacts brain health — both short (<6 hours) and long (>9 hours) sleep may be linked to cognitive decline.

  • Short sleepers are at higher risk of poor memory, impaired attention, and neurodegenerative changes.

  • 🛏️ Long sleepers may also face increased risks, potentially linked to underlying health issues or fragmented sleep.

  • 🧬 Brain imaging studies show structural differences in people with chronic sleep deprivation, including reduced grey matter.

  • ⚖️ Optimal sleep range appears to be 7–8 hours/night for most adults to support cognitive function and brain aging.

  • 💡 Consistency matters — irregular sleep schedules can negatively affect brain health, even if total hours are adequate.

  • 🧘‍♂️ Sleep quality, stress management, and overall lifestyle play key roles in how sleep affects the brain.

Let me know if you want this turned into an infographic or presentation slide!
