Sleep Enhancement for Older Adults Living With Memory Loss And Their Care Partners

Improving sleep for seniors with memory loss and their caregivers.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study explores if a 6-week video call program can help improve sleep for older adults with memory issues, like dementia, and their caregivers. Dementia is a condition that affects memory and thinking. Caregivers are individuals who help take care of these adults. Often, both have trouble sleeping, which can lead to stress and health problems. Instead of using medicines, this study uses a method called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi). CBTi helps people sleep better by teaching them good sleep habits and ways to relax. The study focuses on both the person with memory issues and their caregiver together, as their sleep problems are connected.

Participants will take part in video sessions and interviews to see if this program works and if they like it. The study is open to adults who live with someone with memory issues and help them daily. However, those with severe memory problems or who cannot understand English well cannot join.
