Frequent Daytime Sleep May Be A Sign Of This Mental Illness

Do you sleep often during the day? There may be bitter news for you…

Frequent daytime sleep may be a warning sign of Alzheimer's disease, according to new research.


The brain cells that keep us awake are the first to be affected by neurological disease, making those who suffer from it sleep during the day.

The cells are destroyed by the massive spread of the toxic protein called tau - otherwise known as beta-amyloid.

The discovery may lead to early diagnoses, while medications and lifestyle changes are expected to work.
