Insomnia promotes cognitive and language functions

People suffering from insomnia, improve cognitive functions, writing is easier to read, faster, the researchers reported. Evaluators noted a study that the lack of normal sleep leads to the resolution of the brain. It was found that people with sleep is less activated the left cortex. But. Despite the reduced activity of the brain, such as read and write faster patient Tests at the Institute of Neurology in Amsterdam (Netherlands) was performed, showed the best performance of language tasks in those who had chronic sleep - at least for 2.5 years. During this time no cognitive abnormalities were recorded. Scientists believe that a lack of sleep, the brain is altered and falsely activated those areas which are at a healthy sleep should not work hard. This paradoxical process occurs with the simultaneous involvement of the regions for the processing of linguistic information (reading and writing). Experts plan to conduct further studies to determine the mechanism of the plurality of processes.
