I swear a few days ago someone posted an article that said insomnia was associated with lower risk of dementia.

Inability to fall back to sleep after waking at night was mildly negatively associated with dementia, but didn't seem very significant. Inability to fall asleep at the start of the night was significantly associated with developing dementia.

40% lower incidence rate than the baseline 'good sleep' seems comparably significant to the 51% increase in dementia in the 'trouble falling asleep' category, no?

Sure does! Do you have a link to the study by chance? I'm going off what I recalled from the discussion, would love to see the actual numbers.

If you go back to the post, the link to the actual study is right there in the posted article. Super easy for anyone to find if they can be bothered :)

My friend, the challenge lies not in locating the link within the post. This is not a helpful take.

It's the modern era and we both saw the link. It's not my job to educate you and frankly I have no interest in doing so.

Why should I go back through the links and posts when you're too lazy? What makes you so special that knowledge must be spoonfed to you like a baby bird? This is pathetic. Read.
