Where is the proof that sleep loss does not cause Alzheimer’s and only reverse is true?

For the sake of argument, let's say that we're not allowed to question the claim that "sleep loss causes Alzheimer's".

How is that an explanation? Something has to drive the sleep disorder. It's too vague to be blaming for anything. It's not a thing.

We should question and find proof. But should not dismiss the possibility without looking.

May be there are multiple thing that drives sleep disorder and and then that causes Alzheimer.
