Poor sleep quality and Alzheimer's disease
This article discussed research about Alzheimer's disease and sleep.  Researchers looked at a marker for Alzheimer's, called beta-Amyloid.  The results showed that those with lower sleep quality and shorter sleep duration had higher levels of beta-Amyloid.  However, sleep duration and quality was determined by subject self-report.  It will be helpful to see if the relationship holds up with objective sleep measurements.
