Sleep problems in people with memory or nerve diseases
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how sleep issues are related to neurodegenerative (nerve/memory) diseases. It will use sleep testing to see patterns that may help explain night-time symptoms like confusion or frequent waking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a clinician-confirmed neurodegenerative disease (a nerve or memory condition).
- You have sleep symptoms such as insomnia (trouble sleeping), excessive sleepiness, or confusion that happens at night.
- Your night symptoms include things like frequent waking, daytime sleep episodes, or confusion at night.
- You may have behaviors during sleep or at night such as wandering, agitation, or disorientation/confusion.
- Your sleep study test results show poor sleep quality and/or increased daytime sleepiness, based on the study’s measurements.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study looks at sleep and sleep problems in people with neurological conditions like stroke, Parkinson's, epilepsy, or memory issues. You will do a one-night sleep test (polysomnography) and answer questionnaires to help researchers understand your sleep and daytime function.
This study looks at how sleep and wake patterns change in people with early Alzheimer’s, and whether these changes relate to memory and thinking decline. You may be asked to do questionnaires, sleep diaries, and possibly a diagnostic spinal fluid test (lumbar puncture) to measure biomarkers.
This study is looking at how common and how severe excessive daytime sleepiness (hypersomnia) is in children and teenagers with various sleep and developmental conditions. If your child has one of these conditions and struggles with sleepiness, they may be able to join to help doctors better understand and treat it.
This study looks at how getting good sleep changes learning in adults as they age. If you sleep regularly and don’t have certain sleep or brain/mental health conditions, you may be able to take part.
This study looks at how sleep disturbances may be connected to delirium (sudden confusion) in people staying in the hospital. It may help researchers find ways to prevent delirium by understanding sleep and early warning signs.
This study aims to improve sleep quality for people in nursing homes who have Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia and are having sleep problems. It uses a sleep-focused approach through staff “sleep huddles” and checks sleep patterns to see what helps.
