The University of Pittsburgh is conducting a research study to examine how sleep impacts cognition and the development of Alzheimer’s disease.

- Are between the ages of 65-85
- Have difficulty staying asleep

The study involves 2 daytime and 2 overnight visits. One daytime visit will include a PiB PET/CT scan. Each overnight visit will include a sleep study, paper and computer cognitive tasks, a blood draw, and a 45-minute MRI scan.
