Summary

This study tested a non-drug program that combined bright light therapy and sleep coaching to improve sleep and thinking in older adults with mild memory problems or early Alzheimer's. Only 15 people took part, and the study was stopped early, so results are limited. The goal was to see if fixing sleep patterns could help protect the brain.
