When a person is living with dementia, their brain\u2019s chemistry and networks change. For some people living with dementia, these changes can impact their body\u2019s regulation of this natural rhythm,\u201d Dr. Bock explains.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Dr. Bock adds that anxiety and mood changes are also symptoms commonly experienced by people living with dementia, noting, \u201cThese conditions can make it harder to relax, fall asleep or go back to sleep if a person with dementia wakes up at night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Besides the new <em>Neurology<\/em> journal study, other studies show a connection between dementia and sleep disturbances. An estimated 60% to 70% of people with cognitive impairment or dementia have sleep disturbances, <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC5910033\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:according to a scientific article published in the journal Seminars Neurology.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">according to a scientific article published in the journal <em>Seminars Neurology<\/em>.<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/28890168\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Another study published in Sleep Medicine Reviews;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Another study published in <em>Sleep Medicine Reviews<\/em><\/a>\u00a0found that sleep disturbances may predict an increased risk of dementia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">The new study showed a connection between daytime sleepiness and motoric cognitive risk syndrome. \u201cPeople with motoric cognitive risk syndrome are at a higher risk of developing dementia compared to those without it,\u201d Dr. Bock sald us, adding that a diagnosis can be an important early warning sign that allows for regular monitoring of cognitive function and lifestyle interventions to promote cognitive health for as long as possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">\u201cThe relationship between sleep disruption, mood changes, fatigue and risk of developing a cognitive disorder is complex. Daytime sleepiness and motoric cognitive risk syndrome can both be early signs of a neurodegenerative disorder that causes dementia,\u201d Dr. Bock says. However, she also points out that the study did not factor in depression as a possible cause, something else that can lead to fatigue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/surprising-symptom-may-early-sign-101500552.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Surprising Symptom That May Be an Early Sign of Dementia, According to New Study;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">The Surprising Symptom That May Be an Early Sign of Dementia, According to New Study<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"col-body mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">How to Know If Daytime Sleepiness Is Tied to Dementia<\/h2>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Perhaps you\u2019re wondering how to know if daytime sleepiness is truly a predictor or symptom of dementia. After all, there are all sorts of reasons why someone may feel tired during the day. \u201cIt\u2019s normal for all of us to feel tired more quickly as our body ages. However, fatigue during the day is a common symptom experienced by people in the later stages of dementia or even earlier with certain types of dementia, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nia.nih.gov\/health\/lewy-body-dementia\/what-lewy-body-dementia-causes-symptoms-and-treatments\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Lewy body dementia;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Lewy body dementia<\/a>, due to changes in the brain that can alter a person\u2019s ability to regulate their energy levels,\u201d Dr. Bock says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">She explains that during the later stages of dementia, people often spend a lot of time sleeping, including during the day. \u201cIn addition, everyday tasks such as getting dressed or doing house chores can take more cognitive and physical effort for a person with dementia. This increased effort could explain why some people with dementia feel more fatigued during the day,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/surprising-dementia-symptom-may-able-152500072.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Surprising Dementia Symptom You May Be Able to Notice in the Shower;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">The Surprising Dementia Symptom You May Be Able to Notice in the Shower<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Because of this, it\u2019s also important to consider the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nia.nih.gov\/health\/alzheimers-symptoms-and-diagnosis\/what-are-signs-alzheimers-disease\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:other symptoms of dementia;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">other symptoms of dementia<\/a>, which\u00a0include increased confusion, memory loss, difficulty learning something new, difficulty organizing your thoughts, shortened attention span, trouble completing tasks you used to do easily, trouble recognizing family or friends, inappropriate emotional outbursts, feeling restless and making anxious and repetitive statements or movements. If you are experiencing daytime sleepiness in addition to some of these other symptoms, it\u2019s a good idea to tell your healthcare provider.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Even if your daytime sleepiness isn\u2019t a symptom of dementia, it\u2019s still a good idea to see your doctor about it. Dr. Bock says that it could be a symptom of medication, sleep apnea, thyroid imbalance or hormonal imbalance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">What\u2019s most important to remember is that dementia doesn\u2019t have just one cause or one symptom. So instead of freaking out if you start yawning every day around 2 p.m., talk to your doctor about what could be going on. That way, you won\u2019t be up all night worrying!<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\"><strong>Up Next:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/1-best-workout-dementia-prevention-233500451.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: The #1 Best Workout for Dementia Prevention, According to a Neurophysiologist;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Related: The #1 Best Workout for Dementia Prevention, According to a Neurophysiologist<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"col-body mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Sources<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/study-shows-nightly-habit-may-152500972.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brain health is integral to not just a long life, but a good quality of life at any age.
