Nov. 8, 2024 – The study found that people with excessive daytime sleepiness and a lack of enthusiasm to get things done were more likely to develop the syndrome than people without those sleep-related issues. The syndrome is a pre-dementia syndrome, which can cause really troubling issues later in life.
People with the syndrome have a slow walking speed and say they have some memory issues.
Called motoric cognitive risk syndrome, the condition can occur before dementia develops.
The study found that people with excessive daytime sleepiness and a lack of enthusiasm to get things done were more likely to develop the syndrome than people without those sleep-related issues.
The research does not prove that these sleep-related issues cause the syndrome, it only shows an association. The sleep assessment asked questions such as how often people had trouble sleeping because they wake up in the middle of the night, cannot fall asleep within 30 minutes, or feel too hot or cold and whether they take medicine to help them sleep.
