Did you know that women are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease than men? In fact, about two-thirds of Alzheimer’s cases in the U.S. affect women. One key factor that might help explain this disparity is the connection between sleep disruptions, Alzheimer’s disease, and sex differences. As a recent study shows, it’s becoming clear that sleep problems, especially during and after menopause, may play a significant role in women’s increased risk for Alzheimer’s.
