Study finds common sleep aid zolpidem may harm brain's waste-clearing system, potentially linked to dementia.
A recent study found that zolpidem, a common sleep aid, may disrupt the brain's glymphatic system, which clears waste during sleep and helps prevent diseases like dementia.
The medication can suppress necessary brain oscillations, reducing the system's effectiveness.
Given the widespread use of sleep aids, researchers recommend limiting their use to short-term and as a last resort, emphasizing the need for further study on their long-term impact on brain health.
