SLEEP DISORDERS PUT YOU AT RISK OF COGNITIVE DECLINE

A number of studies link sleep problems, such as insomnia and sleep apnea, to a higher risk of memory problems and dementia, but effectively treating these disorders can have a positive impact on memory and brain function.[556]

Proper sleep is essential for brain health. In fascinating new research, scientists have shown that your brain cleanses or “washes” itself during sleep. The brain has a special waste management system that helps get rid of toxins that build up over the course of a day, including the beta-amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Your brain is so busy managing your life during the daylight hours that this cleaning system is pretty much turned off. One theory about why people with dementia sleep so much is that their brains are trying to clear out the accumulating plaques/gunk.
