26、me napping predicts an increased future risk of Alzheimers, and a diagnosis of Alzheimers speeds up the increase in daytime napping during aging.“Daytime sleep behaviors of older adults are often ignored, and an agreement for daytime napping in clinical practice and health care is still lacking,” sa

30、f the new study has been widely used in sleep field studies, they recognize that polysomnography (多导睡眠记录仪) is the gold standard for sleep scoring. Moreover, the participants studied were older, and therefore, the findings may not be easily translated to younger people. In addition, future studies sh
