   Proposal Description:
   Reduced sleep duration and quality as we age increases the severity of            Alzheimer's.  Expect to see Alzeimer's severity and incident of occurring         increase as sleep quality and duration decrease.  If the results are correct,     techniques for treatment and prevention could be started earlier in life.         The hypothesis to be tested is: There is an inverse relationship between          severity and onset of Alzheimer's disease with a reduction of sleep.
