" There is some causal evidence that would be the case. They’ve done a study where they’ve sleep deprived people and saw there’s an increase in beta-amyloid plaques when you are sleep deprived. That’s associated with Alzheimer’s. In general, sleep cleans out damaged cells in your brain. There’s strong evidence that it has a neuroprotective mechanism against things like Alzheimer’s. We have grants with the National Institute on Aging. We’re trying to study a population of people who are 70 and up to show that we can do these interventions that makes them have a better quality of sleep, that they’ll improve their memory performance and in the long-term, reduce the likelihood that they’ll get Alzheimer’s. It would be amazing if we could show that. "
