An excellent documentary was presented recently on SBS television giving cutting edge insight in to the latest research on Alzheimers.
Of particular interest is the new scientific evidence on the role of the natural biochemical processes of sleep in diminishing the possibility of developing Alzheimers later in life.
Have a look for yourself –

The ‘sleep’ portion is at approx 27.40 mins but the whole documentary is worth watching. You meet the scientists, the patients fighting back against this devastating disease and have the latest research explained simply and clearly.
The documentary will only be available for a further few days when SBS moves on with uploading other current programs online, so be quick.
Happy sleeping !
