Sleep apnoea may contribute to dementia by starving brain of oxygen at night, suggests study

Obstructive sleep apnoea is a condition where the throat relaxes and narrows during sleep to the point that it cuts off breathing. The condition becomes more common in old age, and in people who are overweight, and makes high blood pressure, diabetes and sleep disruption more likely – which are all factors associated with dementia.
