Insomnia symptoms and markers of preclinical Alzheimer’s disease in the community

Amyloid production increases during wakefulness before being cleared during sleep. Insomnia is one of the commonest sleep disorders, yet its relationship to core markers of preclinical Alzheimer’s disease remains unknown. We investigated the cross‐sectional relationship between insomnia symptom severity, APOE e4 carriage, and cerebrospinal spinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers in a non‐demented community‐sample aged 43‐67 years.
