Lack of sleep results in temporary cognitive compromise, but full-blown dementia does not develop from this per se. Anxiety and/ or depression have been early signs of Alzheimer's disease. Deal with your anxiety via Cognitive-Behavioral Counseling, and have your doctor design a Sleep Hygiene program for you.
