There are multiple ways in which sleep and dementia are linked. Brain pathology underlying dementia may lead to disturbed sleep, sleep disturbance may contribute to the development of dementia, and co-occurring sleep disturbances and dementia may lead to a more rapid decline.

Sleep Disturbances in Dementia. Persons with dementia experience excessive daytime sleepiness associated with fragmented sleep at night. As a result, persons with dementia often take frequent, short duration naps throughout the day to make-up for their lost sleep at night.
1 sty 2017 · Study objectives: Mounting evidence implicates disturbed sleep or lack of sleep as one of the risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the extent of the risk is uncertain. We conducted a broad systematic review and meta-analysis to quantify the effect of sleep problems/disorders on cognitive impairment and AD.
19 gru 2023 · At the other extreme, the prototypic brain disorder for hypnagogic/hypnopompic experiences is narcolepsy, which is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, hallucination-like hypnagogic/hypnopompic perceptions, sleep paralysis, and disrupted nocturnal sleep (including REM sleep behavior disorder) .
13 lip 2021 · Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is increasingly found to have an impact on neurodegeneration. In this review, we summarise recent findings on the association between OSA and brain morphology, cognition, and processes related to Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Recent Findings.
Dreams are experiences that occur during sleep, while we are disconnected from the environment. Thanks to recent progress in neuroimaging techniques, it is now becoming possible to relate dream features to specific patterns of brain activity.
Ten types of sleep conditions or parameters, including six (insomnia, fragmentation, daytime dysfunction, prolonged latency, rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder and excessive time in bed) with moderate-to-high levels of evidence, were linked to higher risk of all-cause cognitive disorders.
