DescriptionGet your zzzzzz’s!  Several scientific investigations now show that a lack of sleep may contribute to the development of beta amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain. Beta-amyloid plaques and Tau tangles make communication in the brain’s neurons difficult to do, which in time can lead to cell death and brain shrinkage and Alzheimer’s Disease. To bring awareness to the possible sleep deprivation-Alzheimer’s connection, we answering Alzheimer’s related questions on the question-based websites Yahoo Answers and Quora, and have submitted commentary on this issue to The Huffington Post and to a research team at Harvard Medicine.
