Summary

This trial is studying whether better sleep and more exercise can reduce the risk of dementia in people who are at risk. The idea is that these lifestyle changes might help keep the brain healthy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals experiencing memory, concentration, or information processing issues who can do mild exercise and wear a DREEM 2 Headband and Fitbit watch. They must be able to handle a digital device and perform the Everlywell biomarker test. Participants should speak English and consent willingly.
What is being tested?
The study examines how sleep quality and an exercise routine might influence dementia risk over time using tools like the DREEM 2 Headband to monitor sleep patterns and a Fitbit watch to track activity levels.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from wearing the headband or wristwatch devices continuously, skin irritation from prolonged device contact, muscle soreness from exercise routines, or stress related to blood sample collection.

Other Research
Common treatments for dementia include nonpharmacologic interventions like sleep optimization and exercise, and pharmacologic treatments such as galantamine. Sleep optimization involves maintaining consistent sleep-wake schedules and using light therapy to stabilize circadian rhythms, which can improve cognitive function and overall quality of life. Exercise, particularly moderate to high-intensity, has been shown to enhance sleep quality and may have neuroprotective effects, potentially slowing cognitive decline. Galantamine, a cholinesterase inhibitor, works by increasing acetylcholine levels in the brain, which helps improve memory and cognitive function. These treatments are crucial for dementia patients as they address both cognitive symptoms and overall well-being, potentially delaying disease progression and enhancing daily functioning.
