      The number of people affected by dementia in Germany is growing. Scientists are now discovering an early warning signal in the course of sleep.

      The number of people suffering from dementia in Germany is continually increasing. According to the German Alzheimer Society, there were almost 1.8 million people affected at the end of 2021. Many people are not aware that certain living conditions and risk factors can promote dementia and Alzheimer's. Although, according to the Federal Ministry of Health, there is currently no therapy that slows down or even cures Alzheimer's-related brain damage, certain medications can temporarily improve the symptoms of dementia in some patients. It is therefore of great importance to detect the disease early. The first signs of the disease can appear decades before diagnosis. A clue that points to a possible later illness can be seen in sleep behavior.

      Dementia and Parkinson's are neurodegenerative diseases in which the diagnosis is often only made when the symptoms are already severe. However, both diseases can be announced by early warning signs. At the beginning of dementia, problems with short-term memory and the ability to remember often occur. As the process progresses, long-term memory content that has already been internalized is lost. As a result, patients gradually lose the skills and abilities they have acquired over the course of their lives. The typical symptoms of dementia include:

      • Confusion and forgetfulness
      • Loss of sense of smell
      • Disorientation
      • aggressiveness and irritability
      • depression
      • Personality changes
      • Delusions and hallucinations
      • Language problems
      • Decreasing activity
      • Difficulty coping with everyday life

      Detect dementia early: Scientists discover early warning signs in sleep behavior

      The brain can send subtle signals that indicate dementia long before diagnosis. According to a Canadian study, a condition called REM sleep behavior disorder is a warning sign of brain disease that can occur about 15 years later. People who constantly hit or kick themselves in their dreams at night have an 80 to 100 percent higher risk of developing a neurodegenerative disease such as dementia or Parkinson's.

      However, not every nightmare has to be a sign of illness. When it comes to sleep disorders, it is crucial that the urge to move occurs during REM sleep. This sleep phase, also called paradoxical or desynchronized sleep, accounts for about a quarter of our sleep. It is characterized, among other things, by higher blood pressure, faster pulse and rapid eye movements when the eyelids are closed, while at the same time the muscles are flaccid. When the sleep disorder is present, physical activity corresponds to vivid dreams and the body moves as vigorously as the eyes. Another study from Boston University shows that shortened REM sleep phases also increase the risk of disease.
