About the episode

New research led by UNSW shows that adults who frequently experience distressing dreams have a higher chance of developing dementia. People in their 60s with frequent bad dreams were up to four times more likely to develop the disease. Men with weekly nightmares faced more than triple the risk of Alzheimer's disease.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
