"The woman who came to see Dr. Ronald Petersen, an Alzheimer’s specialist at
the Mayo Clinic, was only in her 60s but complained that she was having trouble
concentrating. “Her attention was waning,” Dr. Petersen recalled. “She couldn’t
follow a television program or stay focused during a conversation.”
 .

She was probably developing dementia, Dr. Petersen thought as he took her history. But along the way he asked, as he usually does, how she was sleeping."

My sleep doctor attributes my memory and cognition problems to un and then undertreated sleep apnea. I'll be glad when we finally get my OSA under control and see how my mental accuity improves. I am actually on Aricept for dementia, Wouldn't be great to finally get out from under that diagnosis?!
I deal with memory, focus, and conentration issues almost daily with my patients. These are typically the most rewarding studies when you can correct the problem through proper sleep troubleshooting.
