What is the connection between how we sleep and cognitive decline?
Daytime sleepiness and poor sleep quality in older adults may signal early cognitive decline and increased dementia risk. Managing conditions like high blood pressure, exercising, and good sleep hygiene can improve sleep and protect cognitive function. Research highlights the link between disrupted sleep patterns and the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques, associated with Alzheimer's disease.
