make up for poor sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, it found developing dementia might actually affect the neurons in the brain that tell people when to wake up.<\/p>\n<p>Co-senior author\u00a0Yue Leng, MD,

of sleep.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis suggested that the role of daytime napping is important itself and is independent of nighttime sleep.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the study, the researchers tracked data from 1,401 seniors, who wore a watch-like device that monitored their movement in the day.<\/p>\n<p>When researchers looked at the 24 percent who had normal cognition at the start of the study but developed\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/topic\/alzheimers\/\">Alzheimer\u2019s\u00a0<\/a>six years later, and compared them with those whose cognition remained stable, they found differences in napping habits.<\/p>\n<p>Participants who napped more than an hour a day had a 40 percent higher risk of developing Alzheimer\u2019s than those who napped less than an hour a day.<\/p>\n<p>And participants who napped at least once a day had a 40 percent higher risk of developing Alzheimer\u2019s than those who napped less than once a

for Alzheimer\u2019s disease during follow-up, may reflect the effect of Alzheimer\u2019s disease pathology at preclinical stages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be very interesting for future studies to explore whether intervention of naps may help slow down age-related cognitive decline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/health\/2187987\/alzheimers-causes-symptoms-signs-dementia\/\">Alzheimer\u2019s\u00a0<\/a>affects one in six people over the age of 80 and it is thought that around 850,000 people in total are suffering in the UK alone.<\/p>\n<p>A hallmark of the disease is the build-up of amyloid beta proteins in the brain, which causes plaques.<\/p>\n<p>The plaques then result in the loss of connections between nerve cells in the brain \u2013 and ultimately the death of those cells and a loss of brain tissue.<\/p>\n<p>Those with Alzheimer\u2019s also have a shortage of key chemicals in the brain, which help transmit messages.<\/p>\n<p>A lack of these chemicals means the brain is unable to process certain messages in the way it would have previously, which causes confusion and memory loss.<\/p>\n<p><em>This story originally appeared<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"
