Description
Andrew Krystal gives a 2025 talk review on how sleep and delirium shape each other. People with brain degeneration face a higher risk of delirium, a sudden state of confusion. Poor sleep may raise that risk, and delirium may in turn raise later risk of decline.
The talk surveys what is known about sleep change during delirium. It covers proof that sleep disorders raise the odds of delirium after surgery. It weighs drug options that calm sleep, such as sleep hormone based drugs, and ward routines that guard sleep. It also asks if treating blocked breathing in sleep cuts delirium risk. Krystal ends with a call for stricter trials and clear care paths.
