Daytime Sleepiness: A Key Indicator of Early Dementia Risk
TL;DR Summary
A study by researchers from UC Berkeley, Stanford, and UC Irvine suggests that deep sleep may help mitigate memory decline associated with Alzheimer's disease. The research found that older adults with Alzheimer's-related brain changes performed better on memory tests if they had more deep sleep, highlighting sleep as a modifiable risk factor. The study emphasizes the importance of non-rapid eye movement slow wave sleep and suggests lifestyle changes to improve sleep quality, potentially delaying cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer's.
