"The best sleep routine is no screens a few hours before bed. … Settle into a nice, relaxing routine … and then get to bed by a set hour; having a very regular schedule is important. People assume sleep is spongy [and you can make it up], but it's really hard to recover." 

Ronald Chervin, M.D., M.S., the Michael S. Aldrich Collegiate Professor of Sleep Medicine, professor of neurology, and interim chair of the Department of Neurology, stressed the importance of limiting screentime and maintaining a proper sleep schedule in a Washington Post article about the effects of binge-watching TV shows.

"If we start treating everyone with preclinical Alzheimer's, we'll treat a lot of people who would never have gone on to have dementia at all. … There are lots of incentives, including financial incentives, for doing more testing and interventions. … My hope is we'll think hard about the unintended downsides." 

Kenneth Langa, M.D., Ph.D. (Residency 1997), the Cyrus Sturgis Research Professor of Internal Medicine, research professor with the Institute of Gerontology and the Institute for Social Research, and professor at the School of Public Health, was quoted in a New York Times article debating whether costly, and sometimes unreliable, PET scans should be used as a diagnostic tool for Alzheimer's disease.
