Short video/transcript in which Rich Bello explains the relationship between sleep quality and biological aging, focusing on telomeres. He defines telomeres as protective caps on chromosome ends, links telomere length to biological age, and states that sleep deprivation/poor sleep damages telomeres.

Sleep and aging somewhat related. So telomeres and people have probably heard about telomeres now and the relationship of telomeres to aging. So what does sleep do to telomeres? Basically, what are telomeres? They're the caps at the end of your chromosomes. What do they do? They protect your DNA. You don't want your DNA to be not protected. The DNA is exposed, it leaks out, genetic code is damaged. Not good. Telomeres are directly correlated to your biological age. Sleep deprivation, poor quality, damaged telomeres.
