Summary
This study tests whether eating only between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. (14 hours of nightly fasting) can reduce sleep problems, memory loss, and disease markers in people with mild cognitive impairment or early-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. Sixty older adults will try this eating schedule for 3 to 6 months, with some fasting alone and others with a partner. Researchers will track how well participants stick to the plan and whether it improves brain health.
