By &lt;br&gt; Updated: 18:11 BST, 13 March 2013 &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Taking sleeping tablets could help improve your memory, according to controversial new research.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A team of researchers claim to have discovered the mechanism that enables the brain to build-up memories - and say they found that a commonly prescribed sleeping tablet containing zolpidem enhances this process.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They hope the discovery could lead to new sleep therapies that could improve memory for ageing adults and those with dementia, Alzheimer's and schizophrenia.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The findings contradict a wealth of previous research that has suggested that sleeping pills can have devastating effects on health, including memory.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Taking sleeping tablets could help improve your memory, according to new research&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The new research claims to have demonstrated, for the first time, the critical role that sleep spindles play in consolidating memory in the hippocampus.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sleep spindles are bursts of brain activity that last for a second or less during sleep.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Earlier research found a link between sleep spindles and the consolidation of memories that depend on the hippocampus, the part of the brain that is involved in memory forming, organising, and storing.&lt;br&gt;

They found that zolpidem significantly increased the density of sleep spindles and improved memory consolidation&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But previous research has suggested that sleeping pills taken by more than a million Britons significantly increase the risk of dementia.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pensioners who used benzodiazepines - which include temazepam and diazepam - are 50 per cent more likely to succumb to the devastating illness, a Harvard University study found.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They work by changing the way messages are transmitted to the brain, which induces a calming effect but scientists believe that at the same time they may be interfering with chemicals in the brain known as neurotransmitters, which may be causing dementia.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The new study tested normal sleepers, who were given varying doses of sleeping pills and placebos, allowing several days between doses to allow the drugs to leave their bodies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Researchers monitored their sleep, measured sleepiness and mood after napping, and used several tests to evaluate their memory.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They found that zolpidem significantly increased the density of sleep spindles and improved verbal memory consolidation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dr Mednick said: ‘Zolpidem enhanced sleep spindles in healthy adults producing exceptional memory performance beyond that seen with sleep alone or sleep with the comparison drug.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; The researchers hope that their findings will help in the development of new treatments for Alzheimer's and dementia&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;‘The results set the stage for targeted treatment of memory impairments as well as the possibility of exceptional memory improvement above that of a normal sleep period.'&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dr Mednick also hopes to study the impact of zolpidem on older adults who experience poor memory because individuals with Alzheimer's, [https://jobs.drupal.org/company/28681 jobs.Drupal.org] dementia and schizophrenia are known experience decreases in sleep spindles.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dr Mednick, who began studying sleep in the early 2000s, says sleep is a very new field of research and its importance is generally not taught in medical schools.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;‘We know very little about it,' she said.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;‘We do know that it affects behaviour, and we know that sleep is integral to a lot of disorders with memory problems.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;‘We need to integrate sleep into medical diagnoses and treatment strategies. This research opens up a lot of possibilities.'&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also visit my blog: [https://jobs.drupal.org/company/28680 Buy Ambien Without Prescription]</div>
