This study will evaluate the effects of more frequent dialysis on cognitive function
including the assessment of sleep apnea and restless legs. Our hypothesis is that more
frequent dialysis improves cognitive function and may have important implications on
clinical care of ESRD patients and help to emphasize the need for treatments that will allow
patients to live "with dialysis" rather than live "for dialysis".
