Dementia symptoms: How long do you take a nap a day may indicate the onset of dementia

There are more than 400 different types of dementia, but Lewy body dementia (LBD) is one of the most common dementias

According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NDS), sleep disorders in LBD patients are common but usually not diagnosed

As explained by NDS, excessive daytime sleepiness is a clear sign of LDB

A healthy body describes it as sleeping for two or more hours during the day

Other sleep disorders include:

• REM sleep behavior disorder is a condition in which a person seems to be dreaming

  
  

• Insomnia-difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, or getting up too early

  
  

• Restless Legs Syndrome is a condition in which a person feels that they want to move his or her legs to stop unpleasant or unusual feelings while resting

  
  

According to the British National Health System, if you think you have early symptoms of Alzheimer’s, especially those over 65, you should see a general practitioner

If you are worried about others, encourage them to make appointments with a general practitioner, maybe suggest that you go with them and suggest a health institution

The GP can do some simple examinations to try to find out the cause of your symptoms, and may suggest that you go to a specialist for further examinations

 Am I at risk?

It is not clear what exactly causes LBD, but because the research on this type of dementia is not as extensive as the research on other types of dementia

Some studies have shown that the risk of relatives of DLB ​​family members may be slightly higher, but this is not decisive

According to the Alzheimer Society (As) report, several gene variants have recently been linked to the high risk of DLB

According to the health agency, the apolipoprotein e4 variant is considered to be the strongest genetic risk factor for DLB because it is a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, and it’s not entirely surprising that genetic variants are also associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

This is because the symptoms of DLB ​​overlap with those of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, and these diseases have some common underlying characteristics

A study published in the journal Neurology linked other risk factors to LBD

We report that the history of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in adults is a risk factor for DLB.
Researchers write that ADHD is a disease that affects people's behavior and causes symptoms such as restlessness
.
The researchers added: We believe that patients diagnosed with DLB are more likely to have a history of depression or anxiety, which will support our findings, because in many cases, the diagnosis of ADHD is often confused or overlapped with depression and anxiety

Ongoing research is underway.
