Taking frequent daytime naps and sleeping too long at night could be early warning signs of dementia, or even contribute to the brain condition, say neurologists.
They have found a link between excessive sleep and problems with thinking in the elderly.
Many older people take forty winks, and it is usually only because they need a physical rest from exertion.
I have horrible sleep habits, Usually don't get to sleep til 3 or 4 am. Then up by 8-9 am. Everyday I take at least 2 one hour naps. I rarely exercise and am in pretty good health says my doctor. I've been retired for 12 years and recently scored one of the highest scores one can get on a cognitive test and have an IQ of 142. So I don't put much faith into some of these reports.
First off...I don't know any napping old timers that look like the woman in the article....hmmmmm.....coulda, should, woulda....key words at the end say "if further evidence bares this out"......I don't believe any of it...big pile of malarkey far as I'm concerned

I used to have sleep apnea, but no longer have it (according to the doctors) however I still need naps. I don't sleep well at night. What is a person supposed to do?

Not feel guilty about doing what you know is the right thing for you....
