Disruptions of sleep and circadian rhythms are among the most debilitating symptoms in
patients with neurodegenerative diseases. Their underlying pathophysiology is multilayered
and multifactorial. Recent evidence suggests that sleep and circadian disturbances may
influence the neurodegenerative processes as well as be their consequence. In this
perspective, we provide an update of the current understanding of sleep and circadian
dysregulation in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases.
