Taking sleeping pills could reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, according to new research.
Scientists discovered that people who popped the drugs before bedtime had fewer rogue brain proteins linked to the disease.
Poor sleep is linked to cognitive decline, with disturbed rest often an early sign of the disease. Many patients start experiencing it years before memory loss and confusion emerge.
During the study, researchers tracked 38 people who used suvorexant - a prescription medication sold under the brand name Belsomra - for two nights.
People who were given the highest dose had amyloid levels that were up to a fifth lower than other participants in their spinal fluid by the next morning.
Alzheimer’s disease begins when plaques of amyloid beta start building up - killing neurons. Years later a second protein called tau also forms into toxic tangles.
While the cause of Alzheimer's is not clear, previous research suggests a build-up of these proteins in the brain can slow down or kill off cells, leading to the disease.
Scientists say the results of the study are 'very encouraging' and could hint at a potential treatment of sleeping pills to slow or stop progression of dementia.
However, the researchers are not urging people to start taking the pills every night, as more extensive research is needed.
With no cure in sight, there is an increasing focus on lifestyle factors that reduce risk such as eating right and getting plenty of exercise - and sleep.
Senior author Professor Brendan Lucey, of Washington University in the United States, said: "This is a small, proof-of-concept study.
"It would be premature for people who are worried about developing Alzheimer's to interpret it as a reason to start taking suvorexant

Luminate, which recently published its Top Entertainment Trends for 2023 report, “50 per cent of consumers who have bought vinyl in the past 12 months own a record player, compared to 15per cent per cent among music listeners overall” [via Music Business Worldwide].Luminate appears to have credited those statistics largely to “superfans” whom it defines as “music listeners who spend above average (median) time AND money on music, actively discover new music, participate in music-related activities on social media, and plan on attending a live music event in the next 12 months”.The majority of music revenue (84 per cent in 2022) still comes from streaming services.That suggests that many of these “superfans” buy vinyl as part of merch – not necessarily listening to it.The news follows vinyl outselling CD in the UK for first time in 35 years, according to figures released by the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA) in January.Overall music sales increased by three per cent in 2022 to almost £2billion, which is the highest figure since 2003 and nearly double the level of their low point in 2013.According to the published figures, physical sales fell slightly by 3.8 per cent to £280.4million, but levelled out as the vinyl format showed sustained growth while CD declined.Vinyl album sales grew 11 per cent to £150.5million, while CD album sales in contrast fell 17.4 per cent to £124million, the first time that vinyl has outsold CD by value since 1987.

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Global cinema box office recovered strongly in the first three months of the year, driven by the performance of “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” in many territories and a bumper Chinese New Year season in mainland China. The upbeat news was delivered on the eve of CinemaCon Las Vegas by specialist research firm Gower Street Analytics, which has now increased its forecast of the cinema industry’s full year. The firm now projects that 2023 gross revenues will reach $32 billion, a 10% increase on its earlier estimate of $29 billion. “A $32 billion global box office in 2023 would represent an approximate +23% improvement on 2022. It remains 20% behind an average of the last three pre-pandemic years (2017-2019), but it shows how post-pandemic recovery of our business continues to improve,” said Gower Street.
