Researchers reveal the surprising ways to manage insomnia
A new study suggests that exercise, particularly yoga, Tai Chi, walking, and jogging, can be highly effective in combating insomnia. Researchers conducted a comprehensive analysis of 22 trials involving 1,348 patients to assess the efficacy of various physical activities on sleep quality. The study found that yoga significantly increased sleep duration and reduced wakefulness after falling asleep, while walking or jogging lessened insomnia severity. Tai Chi was shown to improve overall sleep quality, with researchers noting these exercises' benefits include low cost, minimal side effects, and high accessibility. The findings underscore the therapeutic potential of exercise for insomnia, making these activities well-suited for integration into healthcare programmes.

The hobby that could help protect your brain against ageing
New research suggests that playing a musical instrument could help protect the brain against age-related decline. A study found that older adults with long-term musical training performed better at understanding speech in noisy environments and exhibited brain connectivity patterns similar to those of younger individuals. Researchers used functional MRI scans to compare brain activity in older musicians, older non-musicians, and young non-musicians, observing how they identified syllables masked by background noise. The findings support the 'Hold-Back Upregulation' hypothesis, indicating that musical experience builds cognitive reserve, enabling the brain to maintain more 'youth-like' functional features rather than simply compensating for decline. The study adds to growing evidence that positive lifestyle choices, such as musical training, can help the brain cope better with ageing, suggesting it is never too late to take up such a hobby.
