Researchers have identified that overactive immune cells in the brain play a key role in Alzheimer's-related sleep loss. By temporarily calming these cells in preclinical trials, scientists successfully restored over two hours of daily sleep without needing to clear brain plaques, offering an encouraging new target for future therapies.
