Sleep a factor in Alzheimer’s severity.

New technical report implicates sleep deprivation as a cause or contributor to Alzheimer’s disease. “...research has found that chronic sleep deprivation increases so-called plaques in the brain thought to be a main cause of Alzheimer’s and other dementias.”

Anavex 2-73's suppression of insomnia (apparently universal in the Australian trial participants) may be more than a merely useful go-to-sleep outcome. Sleep, itself, may suppress the onset of Alzheimer’s. Middle-aged insomnia may tip things ominously in the direction of Alzheimer’s. Suppression of insomnia may be but yet another favorable mechanism for Anavex 2-73 against Alzheimer’s.
