>> Helping people get a good night's sleep -- without drugs -- would likely help, if only to stave it off in those at risk.
> Are doctors not already telling people to get good night’s sleep? Are healthy diet and exercise not already universally recommended?
Yeah, most people know they need a good night's sleep. Most people who miss sleep aren't willfully choosing to skip it but responding to the constant pressure of things like work and school. Things like 24 hours shifts are awful. Which is to say, people actually need help getting sleep, they can't just be told losing sleep is bad.
Jobs that force a lack of sleep should be considered a health hazard and phased out by policy.
