First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study looks at whether improving deep sleep can help protect against Alzheimer's disease in older adults. Researchers will ask 116 people aged 65-85 with mild sleep issues to slightly reduce time in bed for four weeks to boost deep sleep. They will measure changes in memory, brain activity, and blood markers related to Alzheimer's. The goal is to see if a simple sleep change can slow disease progression.
