Summary
This study tested a 6-week sleep program in 200 older adults (ages 60-85) with insomnia to see if it improves thinking, memory, and attention. A small group also had brain scans to check for changes in amyloid plaque, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. The goal was to understand if fixing sleep can protect the aging brain.
