What are the effects of poor sleep on health?
Coming up on this episode of The Doctor's Pharmacy.
But the amyloid plaque, that sticky plaque that we secrete in response to inflammation or injury, if it accumulates, of course, it can damage surrounding neurons and is associated with neurodegenerative disease and Alzheimer's disease.
So in English, that means if you don't sleep, you're likely to get demented.
It's definitely playing a role.
Aging is something we all experience. When our skin starts to lose its resilience, we see more wrinkles, maybe even some sagging. What if I told you there's a groundbreaking way to address the root of skin aging? And that's where OneSkin comes in. A company founded by a team of skin longevity scientists OneSkin has developed a revolutionary peptide, OS1, that interrupts the aging process at its core. In the lab, OS1 was shown to switch off the senescent cells, or zombie cells, that contribute to aging. What's even more exciting is that it can help restore early senescent cells back to their healthy state, so to unzombify your cells, if you will. OneSkin's product line includes moisturizers for the face, body, and eye area, all powered by OS1. They even offer a non-nano zinc oxide sunscreen for the face and the body and a daily cleanser that doubles the penetration of this powerful peptide. OneSkin's website has an entire section dedicated to their research.
For example, they've shown up to a 130% increase in collagen production with their OS1 eye treatment and their OS1 Face SPF, which neutralizes free radicals four times better than leading brands. Plus, their theta is published in respected journals like NPJ Aging and the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology. So if you're serious about how your skin ages, you got to go to check out OneSkin.

So sleep is divided into multiple stages, but it's a state of inaction. No surprise there. We're not walking around unless we're sleepwalkers. And it's divided mainly into two general states. One is the early part of the night when we are mostly in slow-wave sleep and our body is repairing itself. That's mainly growth hormone is released. a state in which our dreams tend to have very little emotional load, and it's mostly about motor learning, physical repair of the body, et cetera. And then the second half of the night where we are in so-called REM sleep, rapid eye movement sleep, is the other major state where the dream content tends to have a lot of emotional richness. The dreams are very intense.
And we know that we don't release the molecule epinephrine adrenaline during REM sleep. And it's sort of like a built-in every night therapy, exposure therapy. The argument we got into with somebody a few days ago, the challenge that we're going through in a relationship, an old thing wound or shameful thing gets worked out slowly over time in sleep.
