Ask your doctor if sex reduces your Alzheimers' risk.. My hospital had the nurses handing out sleeping pills like candy at 10pm. I would have much preferred sex.
Your doctor should be prescribing sex instead.
For Some, Sex Is Better Sleep Aid Than Pill, Small Survey Finds
A Common Sleeping Pill May Reduce Buildup of Alzheimer's Proteins, Study Shows
There's still so much we don't know about Alzheimer's disease, but the link between poor sleep and worsening disease is one that researchers are exploring with gusto.
A study published in 2023 found that using sleeping pills to get some shut-eye could reduce the buildup of toxic clumps of proteins in fluid that washes the brain clean every night.
People who took suvorexant, a common treatment for insomnia, for two nights at a sleep clinic experienced a slight drop in amyloid-beta and tau, two proteins that pile up in Alzheimer's disease.
The trial was short and involved a small group of healthy adults, but the research – from Washington University in St. Louis – is an interesting demonstration of the link between sleep and the molecular markers of Alzheimer's disease.

And by the time the first symptoms develop, levels of abnormal amyloid-beta are almost peaking, forming clumps called plaques that clog up brain cells.
