According to new research conducted at Montreal General Hospital in Canada, people have high risk of developing dementia or Parkinson’s disease, if they hit out during sleep.
This research is based on the analysis of shut-eye patterns of 93 people with “REM sleep behavior disorder”. People who are suffering from this disorder either start punching or kicking during the sleep.People who involved in this research were generally belonging to the age group around 65 years and mostly were at the higher risk of having dementia. They were under the research on an average period of five years. During that period 26 out of 93 suffered from degenerative brain disease out of which 14 from Parkinson’s disease, seven from Lewy body dementia, 4 with Alzheimer’s disease and another with multiple system atrophy.
This suggests that people of this age group, who were suffering from sleep disorder, have high risk of similar condition.
