Efficacy of Sleeping 8 Hours A Day as an Alternative Medicine According to GRADE* Ranking: 


Alzheimer's Disease [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]:

Recommendation: Strongly in favor (Recent studies have found the glymphatic system is the functional waste clearance pathway for the central nervous system, and is largely disengaged during wakefulness. Researchers have noted increased sleep can lead to an increased clearance of amyloid deposits. More research on sleep is needed)

Grade of Evidence: Moderate level of evidence
