Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory loss. Sleep-wake disorders are an extremely predominant and often disabling aspect of AD. Ox is vital in maintaining the sleep-wake cycle and promoting wakefulness. Dysfunction of Ox signaling has been associated with sleep disorders such as narcolepsy. In AD patients, the increase in cerebrospinal fluid Ox levels is related to parallel sleep deterioration. The relationship between AD and sleep disturbances has gained increasing attention due to their potential bidirectional influence. Disruptions in sleep patterns are commonly observed in AD patients, leading researchers to investigate the possible involvement of Ox in sleep disturbances characteristic of the disease. This review article explores the role of the Ox system in AD, and the intricate relationship between AD and sleep, highlighting the potential mechanisms, impact on disease pathology, and therapeutic interventions to improve sleep quality in affected individuals.
