It looks like insomnia isn't just a problem for astronauts in space. According to a new research, space radiation may speed up the development of Alzheimer's disease.

These cosmic radiations, most likely the result of exploding stars, move in space at very high speeds and can punch through solid objects such as a spacecraft.
