IME, the biggest predictor for people looking younger than their age is exercising and avoiding alcohol. I'm sure sleep is in there since people who do the other 2 normally also sleep ok.
i think genes are a bigger factor

That's just half of the picture. My kids are older but they have a talent to get up at 6 in the morning on weekends. And need to get up at similar times for school during the week.
If you have kids getting up at 6 for school and you haven't adjusted your sleep schedule to match, isn't that kind of on you now?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20182054/#:~:text=In%20the%2... . this says coffee is associated with a reduced risk of dementia which is pretty much what I've read over and over again
That study conflates caffeine and coffee from the very first word in the abstract. I wouldn’t trust it at all — it’s like an article about CPUs but the writer doesn’t understand the difference between a processor (called CPU) and the rest of the stuff in the computer case (which, as a whole, is also called CPU).
Those studies reported higher coffee drinkers had 31–65% decrease in the risk of AD dementia, which is quite comparable to about 65% decrease of Aβ positivity rate in higher coffee drinkers (27.14%) compared to lower coffee drinkers (17.61%). Furthermore, the relationship between higher coffee intake and lower Aβ positivity was prominent for lifetime coffee intake than for current coffee intake. This suggests that the protective effects of higher coffee intake against Aβ pathology involve the chronic effects associated with prolonged exposure rather than an acute or short-term effect.
Note: "coffee drinkers" not "caffeine"
