Diphenhydramine Disrupts Sleep Architecture in 5XFAD Alzheimer’s Disease Model and Wild-Type Mice
2026-07-27
Abstract excerpt
Sleep disruption is common in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Diphenhydramine (DPH), a first-generation antihistamine with anticholinergic properties, is widely used as an over-the-counter sleep aid.
