## Resource

New research reveals that sleeping over ten hours nightly may spike levels of p-tau181, a protein tied to Alzheimer’s brain changes — even after controlling for age, genetics, and other factors. But don’t panic: this doesn’t prove long sleep causes Alzheimer’s, just that it might be an early warning sign. More studies are needed, but it’s a wake-up call to rethink what “enough” sleep really means for brain health. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
