Abstract

Circadian rhythm dysregulation is associated with sleep-wake disorders and cognitive impairment.

  • Circadian abnormalities have been observed in elderly individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
  • There may be a link between neurocognitive deficits and disruptions in circadian rhythms.
  • Dysregulation of circadian rhythms could contribute to the development of sleep-wake disorders.
