Link Established Between Lack of Sleep And Alzheimer's Disease...
Dear Reader,
There's a fascinating new study appearing in Archives of Neurology that finds
levels of amyloid beta, a well known marker for Alzheimer's disease, rise during
the day and go down at night in a pattern that appears to echo our natural sleep/wake
cycle.
Though it's early days yet, this finding suggests a link between sleep
deprivation and the risk of developing this most dreaded of brain destroying
diseases,
Alzheimer's.
The study split participants into three groups:
1) age 60 and older who tested
positive for amyloid beta plaques in the brain;
2) age 60 and older who didn't
have amyloid beta plaques; and
3) healthy subjects aged 18 to 60 years old.
In the first group, the levels of amyloid beta remained just about constant,
while in the other two groups; the levels rose and fell in waves. In healthy
adults levels of amyloid beta reached their lowest point about 6 hours after
sleep, and their highest point six hours after maximum wakefulness.
Peaks in sleep and wakefulness consistently happened just before the same
move in levels of amyloid beta, while normal daily activities had no impact
on the changes. This pattern was most prevalent in young, healthy subjects,
and not so much in older people who naturally sleep less and experience fewer
periods of deep sleep. Understand too that disruptions to our normal sleep/wake
cycles typically get more pronounced as we age.
The risk of Alzheimer's also goes up as we add more candles to the birthday
cake.
The researchers believe the protection of enough quality, restful sleep comes
from the brain's reduced activity during this time, allowing the body to
flush amyloid beta proteins through the spinal fluid.
Interesting that levels
of amyloid beta in older subjects who have Alzheimer's are nearly constant,
suggesting a potential link between lack of good, restorative sleep and risk
of getting Alzheimer's.

Link Established Between Lack of Sleep And Alzheimer's Disease... Continued...
It's long been accepted that significant sleep deprivation hurts brain functioning,
just as much as alcohol intoxication according to professor of neurology and
director of Washington University's Sleep Medicine Center, Dr. Stephen Duntley.
It's only recently been discovered that prolonged disruption/deprivation of sleep
can play a rather important role in the pathological processes involved in disease.
The connection between sleep and Alzheimer's hasn't been confirmed in people
yet, but the finding could still be rather important to our overall understanding
of the disease.
Today there are no medications that can slow the progression of Alzheimer's,
but there are 4 FDA approved drugs to treat the symptoms. They help patients
hold onto thinking, memory and speaking skills and might also help with some
of the behavior and personality changes that come with this condition. At best
they are effective for a few months to perhaps several years.
The researchers on this project admit that far more work is needed in order to
understand how interrupted sleeping patterns might disrupt the normal ebb and
flow of amyloid beta in the spine. While we're still speculating, it's intriguing
to think that better sleep might help in reducing Alzheimer's risk and that getting
it is most certainly within your control.
To your good health,
