Popular sleeping pill linked to reduced Alzheimer's protein buildup, study reveals
A study from Washington University in St. Louis found taking suvorexant, a common insomnia medication, for two nights slightly decreased amyloid-beta and tau proteins linked to Alzheimer's. Researchers suggest improving sleep may help prevent Alzheimer's, but caution against using sleeping pills indiscriminately due to potential dependency and less effective deep sleep.
