Abstract

Because sleep disruptions and neurological illnesses are correlated, it is critical to address both in therapeutic care. In particular, sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless legs syndrome can worsen neurological symptoms and hasten the course of neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. This bidirectional relationship is caused by changes in synaptic consolidation, Neuro inflammation, and neuronal plasticity. For those with neurological illnesses, early detection and treatment of sleep disturbances are essential to maximizing results. Pharmaceuticals should be used sparingly due to potential adverse effects, with non-pharmacological approaches including cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and excellent sleep hygiene habits advised as initial treatments. Customized strategies that target the root causes of neurological and sleep disorders are crucial for full patient care and improving overall quality of life.
