Abstract

Sleep regularity, a key circadian dimension of sleep health, has been linked to cardiometabolic and neurodegenerative outcomes, yet its relevance to ocular ageing remains unclear. The retina is a metabolically active, circadian-regulated neural tissue, suggesting that irregular sleep may contribute to the development of age-related eye diseases.

Research summary

Irregular sleep may contribute to the development of age-related eye diseases. The paper explores a potential link between sleep regularity and ocular aging, addressing a factor that could influence the onset of age-related conditions, thus contributing to the understanding of aging processes.
