Max Lugavere on sleep: recommends

Max Lugavere says sleep consolidation supports glymphatic clearance of metabolic waste such as beta-amyloid, recommending 6–9 hours of consistent sleep in a dark, cool environment. He has said magnesium or glycine can help when needed. This is per his 2026 Missouri Medicine paper, with additional detail from a third-party AMA summary video — the video listing is from a commentary channel rather than his official channel, so attribute cautiously.

His stated reasoning is that poor sleep impairs the brain’s waste-clearance systems, making sleep hygiene a non-negotiable pillar of dementia prevention alongside diet and exercise.
