Scientists have uncovered a potential link between delayed REM sleep and Alzheimer's disease. A new study shows that individuals who take longer to enter the dream phase of sleep may be at higher risk of developing the condition.

However, some research suggests that poor sleep could raise your risk of Alzheimer’s. A study published in November found that 35 percent of people who were considered poor sleepers (and felt excessively tired during the day as a result) went on to develop motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR), which is considered a precursor to dementia.

According to recent research published in ‘Alzheimer's & Dementia’, delays in entering the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep phase may signal early signs of Alzheimer's disease. The study found that people who take significantly longer to enter REM sleep,

Groundbreaking study uncovers the crucial link between REM sleep patterns and Alzheimer's disease, providing new insights for early detection and prevention.

Taking longer to get to deep sleep or REM sleep can disrupt memory consolidation and emotional processing, affecting overall rest and cognitive health. And now a recent study makes a shocking link between delayed REM sleep and Alzheimer's disease.

Prolonged rapid eye movement (REM) sleep latency was linked with Alzheimer's disease biomarkers, cross-sectional data showed.

A study suggests delayed REM sleep could indicate early Alzheimer's, showing increased amyloid clumps and tau tangles in the brain, and reduced brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Researchers argue this disruption in the dreaming phase may contribute to memory impairment,
