Abstract
In the article authors discuss the current data on sleep changes with aging focusing on the influence of age-related degenerative changes in orexin-containing and pacemaker brain areas. Pathophysiological mechanisms of sleep disturbances in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases have much in common with normal age neurophysiological changes. Maintenance of the sleep-promoting systems function could positively modify the course of these diseases.
Keywords: Age, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, sleep, orexins, sleep disorders.
