A new study reveals that not getting enough of specific stages in the sleep cycle may be linked to cognitive decline and potentially may lead to Alzheimer's disease. Researchers from the Yale School ...

Shorter slow wave sleep and rapid eye movement sleep were associated with decreased volume in Alzheimer disease-vulnerable brain regions.

"Our findings provide preliminary evidence that reduced neuroactivity during sleep may contribute to brain atrophy, thereby potentially increasing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease," lead author Gawon ...

New research shows that reduced time in slow wave and REM sleep is associated with smaller brain volumes in regions ...

New research reveals that lower proportions of specific sleep stages are associated with reduced brain volume in regions vulnerable to the development of Alzheimer’s disease over time.

Deficits in slow-wave and REM sleep appear to shrink parts of the brain known to be early indicators of cognitive deterioration and Alzheimer’s disease, said lead study author Gawon Cho ...
