Treating Alzheimer's sufferers for a sleep disorder that causes heavy snoring can boost their memory, a new study shows.

Treating snoring 'could help Alzheimer's sufferers' memories'
article in the Telegraph

Extract:

"Scientists found that helping patients get a better night's sleep could help them think more clearly.

They believe that the findings suggest that the symptoms of dementia could be exacerbated by the snoring condition called obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).

While it is unlikely that the problem is the cause of the devastating neurological condition, the lack of sleep and disruption it creates could cause many patients' symptoms to worsen, according to researchers.

The Alzheimer's Society called for further research into the treatment, which it said was potentially "good news" for some of the 700,000 people in Britain's who sufferer from the disease.

Previous studies have shown that sleep apnoea is more common among Alzheimer's patients than in the general population.

One study found that up to 40 per cent of patients suffered from the condition."

Snoring and Sleep Apnoea have a common cause, and that is obesity/fluid retention/sodium retention/salt sensitivity. To reduce the effects of that common cause and therefore reduce or cure snoring and/sleep apnoea it is necessary to reduce salt/sodium intake to a minimum.

Lose weight, reduce your risk of most cancers, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, stroke, heart disease, heart attack, vascular dementia, osteopenia, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolaemia, depression, liver and kidney problems, and improve your health in many other ways without drugs or expense by eating less salt! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!

Snorers at greater risk of heart attack...

Snoring 'may raise risk of heart attacks' - Telegraph

Extract:

"Loud snorers who have difficulty breathing in their sleep could be at a greater risk of a heart attack, a study claims.

Researchers found that such sleepers produce less nitric oxide, a gas which opens up arteries to increase blood flow and helps to keep blood pressure at a healthy level.

The study was based on 14 patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), a condition that causes breathing difficulties while sleeping as well as loud snoring and often choking."

Actually. both snoring and heart attacks (as well as sleep apnoea and breathing difficulties and many other health problems) usually share a common cause - obesity - and since obesity is caused by fluid retention/salt sensitivity, both snoring and the risk of heart attack can be safely reduced by cutting down on salt and salty food as this reduces fluid retention.

Are you losing sleep because your partner snores? - Try getting your partner to cut down on salt.

Two years of lost sleep if your partner snores - Telegraph article

Extract:

"Snorers cost their partners two years of sleep over their lives together, researchers claim.

Fifteen million British adults live with a snoring partner, depriving them of an average of two hours sleep a night, according to a study by the British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association (BSSAA).

If an average relationship lasts 24 years, this equates to a loss of two years' sleep.

Of the 2,000 adults questioned, 85 per cent said their relationship would be better if their partner's snoring problem was resolved.

Over half (55 per cent) said snoring had affected their sexual relationship."

Snoring and sleep apnoea are strongly associated with being overweight or obese. Obesity is caused by fluid retention and can easily be lessened by reducing salt/sodium intake, because it is usually sodium retention that is causing the fluid retention. - So you can improve your sleep by getting your partner to reduce his/her salt intake.
