Trouble falling or staying asleep, poor sleep quality, and short or long sleep duration are gaining attention as potential risk factors for cognitive decline and dementia, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has also been linked to these outcomes. Here, we review recent observational and experimental studies investigating the effect of poor sleep on cognitive outcomes and AD and discuss possible mechanisms. Observational studies with self-report and objective sleep measures (e.g., wrist actigraphy, polysomnography) support links between disturbed sleep and cognitive decline. Several recently published studies demonstrate associations between sleep variables and measures of AD pathology, including cerebrospinal fluid measures (CSF) of Aβ and positron emission tomography (PET) measures of Aβ deposition. In addition, experimental studies suggest that sleep loss alters CSF Aβ dynamics, that decrements in slow-wave sleep may decrease the clearance of Aβ from the brain, and that hypoxemia characteristic of SDB increases Aβ production. Findings indicate that poor sleep is a risk factor for cognitive decline and AD. Although mechanisms underlying these associations are not yet clear, healthy sleep appears to play an important role in maintaining brain health with age, and may play a key role in AD prevention.
