Nocturnal sleep dynamics alterations in the early stages of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia
Patients with bvFTD present higher rates of transitions between wake and sleep than patients with AD. The increased frequency of sleep transitions indicates a higher degree of sleep instability in bvFTD, which may reflect an imbalance in sleep-wake-promoting systems. Sleep stage transitions analysis may provide novel insights into the sleep alterations of patients with bvFTD.
