A possible explanation could be based on research suggesting that regular lack of deep sleep increases risk of Alzheimer’s. Given that Neurosurgeons have a grueling 7-8? year residency period after medical school, it would be possible that they undersleep far more than the control group.
I would like to see how the prevalence of Alzheimer's among Neurosurgeons compares against a population with similar work/sleep schedules (eg. finance)
