The Way You Sleep is A Warning Sign for Dementia
The way you sleep could you advertise the opportunities in the future develop a neurological condition such as dementia, according to a new study by the Mayo Clinic.
Researchers found that sleep disturbance resulting from eye movement known as REM (“rapid eye movement ‘) might be the precursor of Parkinson’s disease, dementia or multiple system atrophy, because these conditions are found in more than two dozens of patients studied.
The study, published online in the journal Neurology, reviewed medical records of 27 people who experienced this REM sleep disorder, and 50 years later, each had developed one of the three neurological conditions mentioned above.
The average time between sleep disorders and symptoms of any neurological problem was 25 years, with 13 patients who developed dementia, 13 Parkinson’s disease and one diagnosed with multiple system atrophy.
