Replying to @BrandonPetersMD @KristineYaffe @ErikMusiek @AANMember @AASMorg @ResearchSleep @alzassociation @Alzheimers_NIH @alzheimerssoc @sleepapneaorg @AlzResearchUK
Two explanations. One is poor quality sleep as you say eg OSA. The other is imbalance between sleep and wake promoting nuclei in the brainstem and hypothalamus eg as seen in neurodegeneration. Differential selective vulnerability can explain sleep-wake rhythm differences

An issue is that these big studies use self report, so don't actually know sleep duration/quality/apnea etc. OSA likely plays a role. They did not really see long sleep signal in this study, but in others it often appears closer to symptom onset, may indicate neurodegeneration.

With AHRQ incorrectly stating that CPAP has no evidence for longterm benefits, lets start #IheartCPAP Say how long you have been using CPAP and what it has done for you before Medicare and other insurers try to limit coverage. @sleepapneaorg ahrq.gov/sites/default/…

Sleep apnea, defined as the sensation of not being able to breathe for 10 seconds or longer during sleep, can cause a wealth of health issues, including diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and even death. @sleepapneaorg bit.ly/2PKOTir
