A new study showed that people who took longer to enter this dream phase of sleep had higher levels of amyloid beta and tau, common brain markers of Alzheimer’s.

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.

A delay in getting to the rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep may be linked to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, a new study indicates.

Prolonged rapid eye movement sleep latency may be an early indicator of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, according to research conducted in China and published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia.“Most research on sleep and AD has focused on deep sleep,

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.

Taking longer to drift into the dreaming phase – known as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep – could be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease, potentially opening up new ways to diagnose and treat the devastating condition before it fully develops.

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

Fact checked by Nick Blackmer Taking longer to fall into REM—the dream stage of sleep—is linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease, a new study found.REM sleep is essential for learning and memory,

Problems falling asleep impact our general health and wellbeing, and can even have serious long-term implications. According to a new study, disrupted rest might increase the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
