That's right. And to me, that's one of the exciting parts of it. Because it's treatable. Is that it's both treatable and it's a novel, you know, is it a novel sleep aid pathway? I don't know. I don't know if it's powerful enough to come close to that. It may not be.

I mean, I love to see the data. But it's interesting. I'm not trying to be too skeptical, because as scientists and doctors, you and I both know absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. So don't judge too quick. But right now, I think the jury's out. Yeah, for sure.

Yeah, when you have sleep disruption, yeah.
Yeah, when you have sleep disruption, yeah.

So I'm- And Alzheimer's disease, there's some really fascinating data regarding- you know, inflammation and Alzheimer's disease as a causal relationship now. Quite striking.

Right. And so, and I think we don't yet know what's happening with tau, which is the other tau protein, which is the other sort of culprit there with inflammation. I suspect it may be the same story. It may be even more powerfully explanatory of cognition.
