A new study found that dogs with dementia suffer similar sleep disruptions as humans with dementia. Using EEGs, the researchers found that dogs with advanced dementia had more sleep disruptions and slept less overall than dogs with normal cognitive function. The findings could help with early diagnosis and intervention for dogs with cognitive decline and could establish them as models for Alzheimer's disease.
