"Why Do I Keep Coughing at Night? Expert Answers"

Nighttime coughing can be caused by various factors such as acid reflux, post-nasal drip, asthma, colds, allergies, and in some cases, it can be an early sign of certain types of cancers. To prevent and treat night coughs, staying hydrated, using a humidifier, propping oneself up with extra pillows, and identifying and managing triggers such as pet dander or dust are recommended. Seeking medical attention is advised if the cough persists for more than three weeks or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms like fever, chest pain, or difficulty breathing.

Preparing for a Smooth Transition: Navigating the End of Daylight Saving Time

As daylight saving time comes to an end on November 5th, sleep experts warn of potential disruptions to our health due to the time change. Losing an hour of sleep in the spring has been linked to increased risks of motor vehicle accidents, heart attacks, cardiovascular disease, and depression. To combat these disruptions, experts recommend making incremental changes to sleep times and routines in the weeks leading up to the time change. Spending time in the sun can also help regulate our internal clocks. While some advocate for year-round standard time for better health outcomes, others argue that leisure activities benefit from daylight saving time. Legislation has been proposed to make daylight saving time permanent across the U.S., but it has not yet been passed.

The Impact of Light Sensitivity on Alzheimer's Progression

New research suggests that increased light sensitivity in Alzheimer's patients may contribute to "sundowning" and sleep disruptions, potentially accelerating the progression of the disease. Light therapy could be a valuable tool to manage erratic sleep patterns caused by altered circadian rhythms. Understanding the effects of Alzheimer's on the biological clock may also offer strategies for disease prevention, as poor sleep quality in adulthood is a risk factor for Alzheimer's. The study highlights the role of the retina in enhanced light sensitivity in Alzheimer's, providing a promising avenue for the development of new treatments and prevention methods.
