Sleep and Memory: Does Poor Sleep Lead to Dementia?

Researchers worked with students and demonstrated that sleep deprived students performed poorly in tasks that were memory specific. The presence of sleep apnoea was associated with a 1.8-fold increased risk of developing cognitive impairment and dementia after adjusting for variables such as age, race, weight, education, smoking, diabetes, and medication use.
