Sleep deprivation and Alzheimer's disease share a bidirectional relationship where Alzheimer's can cause sleep deprivation [1], [2], while sleep deprivation may contribute to the development and progression of Alzheimer's pathology [3], [4], [5]. Furthermore, chronic sleep deprivation is identified as a risk factor for developing Alzheimer's disease [6] and exacerbates associated cognitive impairments [7].
