Dr. Weiss Sleep Education

09/06/2026

I first learned about Alzheimer's Disease in college in the early 2000s. At that time, the only way to confirm a diagnosis was through a post-mortem brain autopsy. As a geriatric nurse, I cared for patients and their families, and I also helped care for my grandma. Although we never got a brain autopsy, her diagnosis was based on her worsening symptoms and the slow, heartbreaking loss of who she was, even while she was still with us.

Now, in 2026, I am a sleep and geriatric nurse scientist, and I use blood tests to help identify people who may be at higher risk for Alzheimer's. Every day, I bring my personal memories and professional experience to my work with the community. I honor my grandma's legacy and hope to help create a better future for all grandmas, including my daughter's grandma and my future grandchildren.

Part of this work is bringing my team to the Walk to End Alzheimer's. I honor my grandma's legacy and hope to help create a better future for all of us.

Hey Sleep Friends!

Dr. Weiss here sleep. We all know that our society is pushed for a 24/7 productivity cycle. This creates stress, anxiety, and sleep problems, affecting our biological clock (our circadian rhythms)

That’s a problem in itself. Another problem is trying to “hack” your biological clock into perfection without fixing the fundamental problems that “broke” it.

There’s no easy fix! Trust the science!
