Welcome
Alzheimer’s & Dementia Weekly was inspired by my mother’s journey with autoimmune dementia and my dad’s with Parkinson’s dementia.
Walking beside them opened my eyes to the confusion, the courage, and the deep humanity found in families and professionals caring for someone they love.
Since its debut in 2007, this site has had one clear mission:
to separate the wheat from the chaff — to highlight only the most essential articles, studies, tools, and videos from the overwhelming river of dementia-related information.
(At last count, Google receives a new post on Alzheimer’s or dementia every seven minutes.) For anyone seeking clarity or support, that constant flow can be exhausting and discouraging.
Alzheimer’s Weekly filters, translates, and explains what matters most, helping hundreds of thousands of families, clinicians, and care teams around the world make sense of the latest research and best practices.
This site is dedicated to everyone who works—often quietly and tirelessly—to preserve dignity in the community of people living with dementia.
About the Editor
With experience in dementia caregiving, public education, and Alzheimer’s-focused writing—and a professional research background shaped in what many consider one of the world’s top laboratories—I work to make complex findings clear, practical, and genuinely helpful for both families and professionals providing care.
My goal is simple:
Translate the best science into guidance that lightens the load, strengthens understanding, and helps every person with dementia live with dignity.
Peter Berger
Editor, Alzheimer’s Weekly
Scroll down to "s" for "sleep" in this blog post. There is lots of print documentation there – too much to post directly:

Keep in mind, though, that I am not a doctor: I just threw this information into my blog as it became available. Oh, and it's FREE!
Print options please – its hard to listen to on a phone w/ people around.
IMO, the reason they DON'T offer a print version here is to get you to purchase the book. We will have the book available for lending at the Alzheimer/Dementia Support Center, Inc., 700 McHenry Ave., Ste B, Modesto CA 95350 Other support centers may have it as well.
I so agree. I'd love to have the information in print form.
How about printing the information, instead of, or in addition to, video???
It would be much more helpful.
The print form is a book called the Super Brain. It's show right above the video.
