Description
Sophia Krix and co-authors test whether sleep tracked by devices can flag early Alzheimer's disease. Sleep trouble and the disease feed each other, so sleep may serve as an early sign. The team modeled sleep from wearable and bedside devices in a European cohort. Math models tracked how long each sleep stage lasts and how stages hand off.
Patients at each disease stage lingered longer in light sleep and waking, and less in dream sleep. Middle stage patients also bounced into light sleep and then woke more often. One wrist device split healthy people from the earliest stage on its own. Question forms alone did not. The work is early but points to a cheap home test.
