claimSleep health comprises several measurable dimensions: sleep duration (total amount of sleep per 24-hour day), sleep continuity or efficiency (ease of falling asleep and returning to sleep), timing (placement of sleep within the 24-hour day), alertness/sleepiness (ability to maintain attentive wakefulness), and satisfaction/quality (subjective assessment of “good” or “poor” sleep).

claimA study examining hippocampal volume, which is a marker for memory function and Alzheimer's pathology, found no association with sleep duration, but did find that poor sleep quality and efficiency are associated with a greater rate of hippocampal volume loss.
