Sleep program for people with dementia and their caregiver
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a “dyadic” sleep health approach, meaning it works with both you and your caregiver together. It aims to improve sleep when dementia is causing frequent sleep problems, and to see whether a caregiver-involved plan helps both of you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (the care recipient) have a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or a related dementia

- You do NOT have a known sleep disorder that hasn’t been treated (like sleep apnea or restless legs)
