The most recent attempt at treating alzheimers via amyloid is not going so well[1]. So, the causality implied by this article (poor sleep -&amp;gt; amyloid buildup -&amp;gt; alzheimers) isn&amp;#x27;t necessarily on the strongest theoretical footing.&lt;p&gt;[0]&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.nature.com&amp;#x2F;articles&amp;#x2F;d41586-018-05719-4&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.nature.com&amp;#x2F;articles&amp;#x2F;d41586-018-05719-4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[1]&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.sciencemag.org&amp;#x2F;news&amp;#x2F;2020&amp;#x2F;11&amp;#x2F;biogen-s-alzheimer-s-drug-candidate-takes-beating-fda-advisers&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.sciencemag.org&amp;#x2F;news&amp;#x2F;2020&amp;#x2F;11&amp;#x2F;biogen-s-alzheimer-s...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

It is most likely that some third condition causes both poor sleep and amyloid-b accumulation (since correlation usually doesn&amp;#x27;t indicate causation).</text></comment>
