**Overview** This therapeutic hypothesis proposes leveraging orexin (hypocretin) receptor modulation to enhance glymphatic system function through strengthening circadian rhythms in Alzheimer's disease. The glymphatic system—a brain-wide cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) clearance pathway most active during sleep—shows dysfunction in AD, leading to impaired clearance of toxic protein aggregates including Aβ and tau. By targeting orexin receptors (OX1R and OX2R), this approach aims to restore circadian-...
