After Alzheimer's and vascular causes, LBD is the next most common cause of dementia. It's caused by balloon-like clumps of abnormal proteins called Lewy bodies, which form in your nerve cells. People with LBD have problems with their thinking, behavior, body, and sleep. There are a coupl...

LBD is the next most common cause of dementia. It's caused by balloon-like clumps of abnormal proteins calledLewy bodies, which form in your nerve cells. People with LBD have problems with their thinking, behavior, body, and sleep. There are a couple of different types of LBD, including:...
"Different stages of sleep may differentially affect key features of Alzheimer's disease. Our findings implicate REM sleep mechanisms as predictors of dementia," explained Matthew Pase, PhD, fellow in the department ofneurologyat BUSM and investigator at the FHS who presented the findings. Earlier t...
sleep. Lack of sleep in older adults increases the risk of excessive daytime sleepiness, depression, and problems with attention and memory. Adults who don't get enough sleep are also more likely to fall at night and rely on more sleep aids (both over-the-counter and prescription kinds). ...
Nocturnal disturbances are a common symptom experienced by People Living with Dementia (PLWD), and these often present prior to diagnosis. Whilst sleep anomalies have been frequently reported, most studies have been conducted in lab environments, which a
Could Poor Sleep Habits in Middle Age Be Driving Dementia? The large British study of nearly 8,000 men and women is the strongest yet linking lack of sleep with cognitive disorders. Scientists have long suspected that lack of sleep earlier in life might be a driver of dementia. Findings publ...

Even after adjusting for risk factors such as age anddepression, the researchers found that people with excessive daytime sleepiness and an overall lack of enthusiasm were more than three times as likely to develop MCR compared to people who didn’t have those sleep-related problems. ...
But some of those scientific reports examined that link largely at only one point in time, according to the study. Not much has been known about the relationship between certain aspects of poor-quality sleep and pre-dementia syndromes, either, Leroy and the research te...
