Could nighttime light affect brain health? Researchers investigate Alzheimer's links

A growing body of research suggests that sleep may be more than a symptom of Alzheimer's disease—it may also play a role in how the disease develops and progresses. Now, new research from the University of Kentucky's Sanders-Brown Center on Aging is shedding light on how everyday environmental factors and inflammation in the brain could influence sleep, circadian rhythms and Alzheimer's-related changes.
