Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with significant disruptions in the circadian system and sleep-wake cycles.
- Circadian and sleep disruptions may influence the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
- Understanding the relationship between AD and circadian disruption could aid in early recognition of dementia risk.
- Therapies like melatonin and bright light therapy may improve sleep and circadian rhythms in individuals with AD.
- These therapies, while potentially beneficial, are not curative.
- Further research is necessary to enhance treatment options for Alzheimer's disease.
