The results echo the findings of a previous study that found napping two hours a day raised the risk of cognitive impairment compared with napping less than 30 minutes a day.
Frequent napping or regularly napping for extended periods during the day may be a sign of early dementia in older adults, a new study revealed.
The results echo the findings of a previous study by Leng that found napping two hours a day raised the risk of cognitive impairment compared with napping less than 30 minutes a day. "Excessive napping may be one of the many clues that a person could be on the road to cognitive decline, and trigger an in-person evaluation with a treating physician," said Isaacson, who was not involved in the study.
For 14 days each year, participants in the current study wore a tracker that captured data on their movements; No movement for an extended period between the hours of 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. was interpreted as a nap. "Regardless of the reason, falling asleep during the day or excessive napping raises my antenna to focus on whether the person may be at higher risk for Alzheimer's disease or cognitive decline," he said.
