Sleeping on your back (supine) may be associated with slower glymphatic clearance and higher Alzheimer\u2019s-related risk markers, according to observational data

Although hypotheses linking sleep position to Alzheimer\u2019s risk remain tentative, current evidence suggests side\u2011sleeping supports better glymphatic clearance, while back\u2011sleeping is observed more frequently in people with Alzheimer\u2019s-like conditions. There’s no definitive proof yet, but it\u2019s an intriguing area of early research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
