Alzheimer's disease and cognitive impairment are frequently linked as co-occurring conditions in clinical research, with shared risk factors such as sleep disturbances [1], [2], [3] and potential preventative lifestyle interventions [4]. Furthermore, therapeutic studies have investigated compounds that target cognitive impairments specifically associated with Alzheimer's disease [5], and epidemiological data suggests that addressing shared underlying issues could reduce the incidence of both conditions [6].
