I check your site nearly every day, I am desperate to better my sleep quality.
I’m terrified of how I’m hurting my brain. Dementia is almost guaranteed for me the way things are going.

Dementia is never guaranteed.
I don't want to be a harbinger of doom, but it is an area we are keen for more research in, and are preparing to supply researchers with devices to continue the research in this space.
I truly appreciate your support. We'll have an update for you very soon, and we're excited to show off what we've got.
Are you on the waitlist? I've been sending updates, and will have a few more before we begin pre-sales.

I have a dog in this fight as the neurostimulation technology we're developing at https://affectablesleep.com has been shown to improve amyloid response AND memory in healthy older adults[1], as well as increase sleep in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's[2].
There are significant studies showing safety in slow-wave enhancement, and I am yet to see a single study that shows any negative impacts. The stimulation works (it is thought) by triggering a protective mechanism in the brain which increases the synchronous firing of neurons known as slow-waves which improves the glypmphatic systems power to flush out metabolic waste (amyloid, tau, etc).
Pharmaceuticals have complex interactions which, thus far, neurostimulation does not appear to have. As the article points out "the risk of brain swelling and brain bleeds means they need intense monitoring"
There is also https://www.cognitotx.com/, which uses an open-loop auditory and visual stimulation which seems to have similar response in the brain. However, from what I'm told the stimulation is quite exhausting.
