I have a dog in this fight as the founder of neurotech/sleeptech start-up https://soundmind.co https://soundmind.co, however we are NOT looking at an Alzheimer's treatment, but rather prevention. I'll pick up on the thread of "telling people to get better sleep" is insufficient. Amyloid plaques are cleared through the glymphatic system, and the clearing coincides with slow-wave oscillations (SWOs). It is believed that the SWOs trigger the clearing, and this is a current area of research with a group we are connected to. Your sleep naturally degrades as you age, and, in particular, we get less of these very important SWOs. Auditory stimulation has been proven to increase the power of SWOs and there is lots of research on the related cognitive improvements seen after just one night of stimulation. There are also hormonal responses related to the immune system, and many other benefits. A cure for Alzheimer's is important, but improving the neurological function of sleep, what we call Sleep Performance, is more important. It's like the difference between telling somebody to eat a good diet, or get more exercise rather than coming up with a pill they can take when they are already obese.
