Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia affect memory, thinking and everyday life. While some risk factors—like age and family history—cannot be changed, others can. One important and treatable risk factor is obstructive sleep apnea.

Early in her career, neurosurgeon Aviva Abosch, MD, PhD, began receiving surprising feedback from Parkinson’s patients on whom she had operated. “They would come back to my clinic and say, ‘Thanks for your help with my tremor, but I really want to thank you for helping my sleep.'"

Many people are unaware of the potential long-term complications associated with obstructive sleep apnea, including its link to pulmonary hypertension.

If you’ve been having trouble sleeping lately, you’re not alone. This post outlines how to improve your chances of sleeping better.

RLS can cause significant disruption to your sleep cycle and can worsen if left untreated.
